“Hollingworth Elementary is an exceptional place for learning. Children learn to be successful in a myriad of ways. The staff is a dedicated and caring one that looks at the various learning styles of each child and tailors the teaching to the students strengths. Hollingworth has been on the forefront of so many best teaching practices. While I am proud of the many awards and accolades that Hollingworth has received I am more proud of the caring learning environment that is found at this school.
