[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like even a small flaw, something like "the cafeteria food is mediocre," would make these panegyrics seem more real. I wish the school well, but many of us old cynics are skeptical of perfection![/quote] +1. Are these testimonials all written by the same Holton booster? Are the subsequent ones spoofs of the earlier ones? They are unreal.[/quote] Geesh! You asked and people are giving you their honest opinions of the school and some of you are still not satisfied! Why is it so hard to believe that people LOVE their kid's school. As a parent, I understand why they love Holton. The school goes above and beyond to create a wonderful diverse community and in my DD's grade, they have been very thoughtful in the selection of students. The girls in her class are super smart and so far, very nice with no real issues. The parents get along wonderfully and they volunteer for everything. If I can't make an event I know a fellow parent has looked out for my child, rooted for them, and even snapped a bunch of pictures for me. Like another poster said, Holton parents are passionate about the school and a couple on here may be a bit over the top, but the overall feeling I get is school pride from students, parents, faculty and staff. Come see for yourself. The school is everything you hear on these boards and then some. The girls leave and and still love Holton. They hold alum events all over the country. The school has no problem getting lots of alum to give back time or money so that says a lot about the experience the girls get at the school too. I am not the parent that is always posting on here, but honestly now that my child attends this school I get it. I understand the RAH RAH! It is an amazing school. [/quote]
