No!! They avoid your child's needs with help in learning disabilities and social and behavioural disabilities. They will skirt around IEP's at all chances, and make you and your child feel as an inconvenience to them.

The teachers are bullies as well. They're very two-faced, they dont treat your child well. Your cgild hate school if you send them there.

They avoid your child making any progress and avoid IEP's religiously.

Our child is thriving. She has special needs and we couldnt be happier with how dedicated and individualized her education has been. The teachers love their students and it shows!

Months now my child has been picked on and all they say is they will talk to the little girl. But other than that nothing

Doesn't keep my child safe. This school has junkies as volunteers.

Unsure. My child is not special needs

Doesn't listen to my instructions for my child. Doesn't care that my child is getting bullied. No experience.

Mean kids don't get in trouble or parents don't get called.
Posted: December 3, 2017
Didn't care about my child's well-being, care more about making sure they don't get sued.

Let a known junkie play with my daughter. Would not keep junkie away from my 6 year old
Posted: December 3, 2017
My child has been built by a group of mean girls.no one talked to the mean girls.

I thought this school was safe, but they have a junkie volunteering and working with kids. She has no teeth and lots of needle marks all over her. Beware!!!

Uneven with when they give homework. And only three days to learn the words for spelling test.

My daughter has gone to Holaway since she was in kindergarden. She is now in the fourth grade. We no longer live in the district but we have her enrolled as an out of district student and drive her the twenty minutes every day. We love Holaway. It goes beyond teaching reading and math to teaching life skills and how to get along with others and be responsible. Mr Galaz was an oustanding principle. He left at the end of last year and will be sorely missed. The teachers are dedicated and the new principal is doing a great job as well. Five stars to Holaway in everything.

I was in the first class at Holaway Elementary. It was brand new and we planted some of the trees which are still there. My brother also went to Holaway. My children went to Holaway, and my Granddaughters went Holaway. I have one Granddaughter still at Holaway! So 5 stars from me and my family!!
