(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - This school is GREAT. I've been here for almost 4 years now, and I've never felt better at another school before. The Holliswood School offers everything you need and provides great education. It is a K-8 school. If you want your child to get a great education, send them here.

- The Holliswood School is a great school. Every student is happy. The school was great when Mrs. Hobbs was the Principal but now that Mrs. Ambert is Principal, the school will be even better. Mr. Klocek has done an exceeding job as Assistant Principal. So you should really consider your child coming to this school.
