I owe Holmes a great review for a long time. What differentiates a good school from not so much, it's people who work there: patient and attentive teachers, responsive and pro-active principal and assistants to the principal. Don't impute on the staff if you don't like the neighborhood's population. In my case, Mrs.Padron, an assistant to the principal, held herself personally accountable for the incident my son had with the local kids on his way from school. And not just that. Teachers actually listen parental concerns and tailor study for a kid as needed.
IS 204 is one of the best school in queens all of my kids attended The Holmes school Now they are in Stuyvesant, Thanks to The Holmes school my kids are what they are!
this school is good and bad good they good way of learning bad there is a lot of fights so its you choise !!!!
My first opinion of this school was terrible. I learned that you can't judge according to what others ppl say. My child is doing very well she is a B average student.
This school is very good I am a senior in 204 people might say this school is bad but its not at all the teachers are great and even saftey is great too. There are no fights or anything like that but it is kind of boring time to time but other then that its a good school. You'll feel safe in it and kids dont cut school we have cameras now.
This is the best school anyone can go to. No matter what people think or say about it. I thought it might be bad, but it is a place I will always visit. I learned everything from 204 that helped be survive my high school life. The teacher care and are always willing to help. There is this drill called, 'scatter drill,' which makes sure the students are not cutting and it is random. No one is left out and the education is fun and helpful. It might be boring at times, but it ended up helping me. The fun actives also help me remember all the information.
