It's a good school. I am personally a student, and although some school policies are ridiculous, it is better than the majority of the ones in Georgia.

Both of my grandsons went to Holcomb Bridge. The eldest now attends Centennial High School. Great school, low teacher/student ratio and excellent parent involvement. Our family bought a home specifically to be in HBMS district.
