Terrible staff especially the principle and school nurse left my child crying and shaking when he got in the car with me he is so terrified of the nurse and principal. Please don't work with children if you are so insensitive

I am blown away at the level of support my daughter and I get at Holman. My daughter is entering her 2nd year of Pre-K and is so excited to go back. The teachers, support staff, nurse, and administration is absolutely amazing. Security is excellent, very observant and take their job seriously. My daughter has been in private Pre-K and has never been more excited about learning and retaining the information than this past year at Holman. She has grown and learned so much. She has a medical condition that learning difficulties can arise as she gets older, and Holman evaluates each student annually to screen for issues that require more specialized services. In other districts (with my oldest) I saw so many other parents with children who had special needs struggle to get basic evaluations and special services for their children. I really love how Holman is on top of this to ensure each student is adequately evaluated and given the appropriate services for all students.

This school is exactly what my child needed. Smaller size classes for better teacher student ratio, and a principal who actually cares about each student.

Good school. Not top of the class but working towards that goal. Parents need to stay involved to keep everyone accountable.

My daughter has attended this school since K. She is now going to 2nd grade. Since the change in principle after K we have seen a dramatic improvement in the culture of the school. I never felt that the school was sub par. I just never felt there was anyone in the administration pushing for change. I spoke to the previous principle about my daughter and asked why she was not being challenged. She told me some children don't want to be challenged. To her I responded that children don't get to make that decision. Parents and educators do. I think Jackson is great place to raise a family and educate your child. Don't tell anyone since I like that we are off the radar and not becoming a Toms River or Brick school system. My daughters teachers are very smart YOUNG bright educators. I hope they are not ruined by the NJEA. I hope they are rewarded for their hard work. Lucy Holman is a solid school with much more to achieve for my children. Note: Lets push for all day K. This half day thing is not enough classroom instrumtion. It is also cheaper to pay for a private full day K than half day K and half day aftercare. Plus they learn so much more.
