Completely and utterly disorganized school that is completely out of touch with people trying to work with them.


Posted May 24, 2007

Every teacher has been excellent. The School is a community, very positive healthy place. Greatr music programs
—Submitted by a parent


Posted May 10, 2005

Both of my kids have gone to Sullivan School since kindergarten. I have never had any complaints about any member of the staff. I am especially happy with the music program at the school. It encompasses all levels of ability from beginner to the more advanced levels of the newer middle school. I would also approve of having them start to take a foreign language whether it be french or spanish. The MCAS is a huge issue in Holyoke. I am pleased that Holyoke has made an effort to help the younger grades especially in math with the afterschool MCAS Prep course for the fourth graders. Keep up the great work !

About the tests

The grade 10 MCAS is a high school graduation requirement. The MCAS is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Massachusetts.
