Oliver W Holmes Elementary School Reviews

 
I'm on my third child at Holmes Elementary and I find it to be the best of Public Education. The teachers are first rate and the administration is caring and professional. The parents are involved without being too crazed and - every one of my kids has left there happy, and well equipped to be toward the top of their class in subsequent grades - what else is there.

My son has been here for 5 years and overall we're both very happy. There is a new principal in the last year and she is doing a good job. There are a lot of very progressive programs like zero waste, reading buddies, lunch pals with special needs kids, and a big emphasis on the global community of students. A very welcoming place. Easy to make friends if you make the effort to get involved.

My daughter is in Kindergarten at Holmes and I am very impressed with the school's curriculum. I don't believe I could ask for more in a staff of dedicated teachers. Everyone works hard to ensure all children have an opportunity to succeed. The diversity is awesome! Excellent school in a great community!

My son has attended Holmes for the past 2 years and I am very impressed with the school. He is working ahead of grade level and is easily accomodated along with other students who get dedicated sessions with a gifted resource teacher. His class is extremely diverse, culturally & academically (its exactly what you want if you choose to live in Oak Park!!). What I love the most are the numerous opportunities for school participation at all grade levels: talent shows, spelling bee, science fair, olympic day, etc. Children are on a first name basis with most of the staff. The community is very involved. At the same time, teachers are supportive of full-time working parents and their need to stay in touch electronically and with weekly mailings to the home.

I was curtious to this principal at all the times.She was rude and very unprofessional. The teachers are very good besides the behavior of the principal. The teachers really work hard at making sure your child does his or her best.
