With two children currently at this school and my daughter going to French immersion next year, I am happy both are well supported, love their teachers, have friends and moving here last year was a great choice, the community is really close and cares about one another.

We had two kids go through this school and both we and they loved it! Holliston is a small tight knit community and we took pride in helping our kids learn at home - the best schools do want you as a parent to participate. There was no peer pressure at all, we wanted them to be encouraged to do things at home. Budget issues are in every community these days so that is to be expected and our administration has done a lot with a little, and it is something to be proud of in our estimation. Both our kids were in the French immersion program and are now thriving as they had to learn how to study independently as we don't speak French! There aren't enough words to say about how good we thought the schools handled a variety of situations that weren't their doing. We had social issue when my sister died unexpectedly and my daughter was being teased about a stuffed animal she'd been given and brought to school by some boys who were clueless (as many kids that age are). They stepped up and had meetings to address it and other issues with our son who has OCD. Great place to raise kids if you want to be involved, if you don't you probably won't find any place you'd be happy.

This school closes down on days because the budget is so bad. The school is proud and spends less on each student than the national average. It is all about getting parents overly involved in teaching at home. Teachers use lots of peer pressure to get the kids to speek French in class. It's a challenge to get services for kids who are behind. Budget problems!
