Holly Hill Elementary School

My daughter went to Holly Hill last year for 1st grade, and we moved to NC this year. Looking back, I am very impressed with the education she received at Holly Hill. We are in a great school here in NC, but because of the education she received in the Enterprise City School system, she was ahead of her peers in reading, and math. She is now in the gifted program at our new school because the students spent most of the school year playing catch up to her. My husband and I thank Mrs. Bradshaw and the faculty and staff of Holly Hill for the nurturing, caring, and achievement driven atmosphere they provided for my child during her time at Holly Hill. I'd also like to add that we are both military and minorities. I'm glad we didn't experience any of the biases stated in the previous review.

I'm not impressed with the quality of education my daughter is receiving. I'm actually considering homeschooling my child. Children are stigmatized here. I actually overheard one of the PTO officers complaining that she didn't want her child sitting with a child from a different socioeconomic group. Some of these people need to venture outside Enterprise, AL. Maybe then they would understand the world a little better. I have often seen minorities grouped together. This school could definitely use a little culture. If you have strong roots in the community and the appropriate last name then this is the school for you. If you're military, I would recommend a different one.

I love Holly Hill Elementary. My husband is in the military and our family just moved here a year ago and like so many parents you want to know about the best school to send your child and Holly Hill is it. The teacher that my son had in 1st grade was AMAZING I can not say enough about her and some of the other 1st grade teachers I met we're also great. Too Mr. Jimenez I would suggest you call the school district about ESL or the school considering school starts in 2 weeks. I hope this help.

The principal is aweful!!! She is very concerned with fundraising but we never see any results from the fundraisers except for the leather sofa and decorative wall hangings. She has also had numerous bullying complaints made to the superintendent by her teachers. Three students were paddled on a Friday afternoon and no office referral was ever filled out or sent home for the parents to sign. Tornado drills are impossible to comply with because clothes racks are up and down the hallways. The principal has also instucted the staff to give students mountain dew if they seem sleepy during achievement testing

holly Hill is the best. I really enjoyed this school. I wished that my daughter could attend holly hill for 7th grade. holly hill love teaching and i enjoying helping in the process.

The Holly Hill staff provides me with a sense of security regarding my childs intellectual and emotional growth. Learning is fun at Holly Hill, thanks to the great staff and support personnel! Even though there are over 700 students enrolled, the adminstrators and support staff can still call most children by their first name - now that's what I call taking a real interest in your job!

Holly hill is a great school, and wished that seventh grade would be like this too for my child. I have so much confidence in the staff at Holly Hill. I am always bragging on Holly hill when I am out in the community.

Holly Hill is terrific! We owe it all to the teachers of this school. They have shown me that teachers and parents working together educate our children. All parents need to help their children with reading and homework on a daily basis. Otherwise, we are not being the best parents that we can be! The teachers at Holly Hill give their all!

The administration is absolutely horrible! I am so displeased with how they treat my kids and am about to start sending them to private school just to get away from the way this school is run.
