This is a great school with teachers and staff who are willing to go the extra mile to help their students achieve their best no matter what obstacles may be. I am glad to be a tacher here and a parent with children attending here.

I have had my child at this school for three years now. The teachers are fantastic, they care deeply about the children and the families and do anything to help us. The school has placed a priority on safety of all who go there. I feel very lucky that my child goes here. In the last year, the school has gone under new leadership. They have a new principal and new vice principal. FANTASTIC!! Now the administration matches the quality of the teachers! They have only improved the school and I will continue to be impressed at the respect and teaching that my child recieves at Hollingsworth!

Even though this school continues to fall below AYP in testing, if you look at the progress in test scores (the transiency rate, the Dual Language program which tests in English even when the child is learning in Spanish, etc.) you'll see that they are making great strides, year after year. Keep up the good work, Heroes!

Rude office staff, administration seems to be quite unorganized and confused. Many staff members coming thru the office appeared to be dressed unappropriately and very loud and laughing. Not a very professional school. My kid went there 1 year and we never went back.

About the tests


In 2010-2011 Nevada used the Criterion Referenced Test (CRT) to test students in grades 3 through 8 in reading and math, and in grades 5 and 8 in science and writing. The CRT is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Nevada. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
