South

i do not agree at all with any of the previous statements.I,as a sixth grade student as South School feel our educational system is excellent. We may need a but more organization but the South school has many extracerricular programs. such as Civics , which gives the students freedom to debate about things in Holbrook. Explorations, which is after school Math help for C and below students , Music Program, which allows students to practice instraments. We also have many projects in school. like Project Bread, Pennies for Patients & many other giving help. i could go on and on and on and on for hours explaining how wonderful South Elementary School is but for now i will not proceed. All i have to say is Holbrook is excellent & so are the schools. Ecspecially one teacher. Mrs.Mckinney. the South School science teacher! your amazing Mrs.Mckinney!!!!

I think Holbrook has one of the worse school systems. My child has been at the school for 3 years, luckily this is his last year. He will be transfering out of the Holbrook school system totally. Each year his teachers get worse and worse, especially at the South School.

Both my sons have been in the Holbrook schools,1 graduated with honors & the other is currently a student. I have seen alot of changes. The best thing that happened to the South was the hiring of Mr. Bray. He has high expectaions of his teachers and a determination to see that the students recieve the academics they need to improve the MCAS scores. Students recite a 'no taunting pledge' each morning. Bullying is not tolerated. He is highly respected by staff, parents & students. He attends every parent group. He encourages the staff to do after school activities. The inside of the South may be old, but it is clean and orginized. Yes, the high school needs to pull it's act together. And with the taxes we pay, there is no excuse. Credit needs to go where it's due. The South & our kids were given a gift, Mr. Bray.

I go to the South School myself,in fourth grade,and I think that the academic programs are great,the teachers really work hard to give us quality education.The teachers don't just teach,but they are always there for advice and help w/ personal problems.The extacurricular activities are great,so many to choose from!The music is great,the schools can't afford strings,but the instruments are still great! Parent involvement is decent, and the schools cleanliness is good. I say South School is the model school!
