Holsenbeck Elementary School

Posted August 22, 2009

My daughter has had a wonderful Kindergarten experience at Holsenbeck. The administration and staff are extremely professional and nurturing. I am an educator myself and chose this school for my daughter based on the positive learning environment that the school upholds.

My daughter attended Holsenbeck her first year of school and we loved it. Her teacher was wonderful (Mrs. Nunnally). I'm not so sure if it was the school that impressed me, but the teachers most defintly!

My stepson is a student in 5th grade at Holsenbeck. He has been there since kindergarten, and I have been involved with him and his education for about 2 years now. Since I have been involved with his education, I have been appalled at the lack of concern expressed by the faculty of this school from teachers to administrators. No matter what problems he has with reading, math or anything else, their typical response is 'Don't worry, we'll have him ready to make a good score on the CRCT.' I couldn't care less about the CRCT.....I just want my stepson to be taught the fundamentals he needs in elementary school......the test will then take care of itself.....We as parents are both disgusted at the performance of the people at this school.....and don't try to talk to the administration....all they want to do is cover for the teachers......Pathetic.

I expected more. My children have attended Holsenbeck since Pre-K and one of the reasons that I moved my family to this area was the that the schools were suppose to be really good. This is your average southern small town school with a kind and sometimes-effective teacher to be had. The principal runs a very tight ship but it s behind the times when it comes to dealing with current and emerging social issues. Support for the Hispanic community is strongly lacking at Holsenbeck. My partner and I feel that there is to much time spent cramming so the students do well in on the CRC test and that this eats away time that could be better spent actually learning. I honestly get the feeling that all the teachers at Holsenbeck would go the extra mile for their students. Dialogue between parents and the teacher is key for success at this school.
