Holton High School Reviews
Rating 3.55 out of 5 87 reviews
The best part about Holton High School is how close everyone in our community is. Most of the kids in my class I had been going to school with my whole life. Everyone supported each other in their endeavors. The worst part was probably the lack of diverse clubs, but that comes with a small school. I would like to see some of the classrooms get new tables/desks. Especially in the Ag department.
Overall, I've had a great experience at Holton High. High school has introduced me to some of my closest friends and allowed me to branch out. Since kindergarten, I've always been someone who enjoys going to school. I love the social environment, the relationships I form with teachers, and being given the chance to learn. However, with every great experience there comes a few challenges. Although I enjoy going to Holton High School, it hasn't always been easy, especially in the times of COVID. Recently, it feels as if the purpose of school isn't necessarily to learn, it's to pass the class and get good grades. The pressure can be so overwhelming that sometimes our education is at risk. At our school, I would like to see more life skills being taught. I believe this will help teenagers advance in life more than any College Algebra ever could. Now, I'm not saying that learning all of these subjects isn't important, but we also need to be taught life skills.
Holton high school offers a large variety of classes and great teachers to teach them. I have a had a great experience so far and believe that I will be ready for the nest chapter in my life after I graduate. We do have a few behavioral issues but nothing that is too bad and can’t be easily resolved. I believe that all of our staff members want to be there and are willing to teach.
