Hollow Hills Elementary School

I love this school. My oldest started in Kinder, and is now a 6th grader. I have a second child in the school as well. Our family has had the best experience academically. The parental involvement is amazing as well. The reason this school succeeds is because of all the caring families and teachers here. The teachers are always open to working with you to help the kids do well. Both my kids have great friends and teachers year after year.

When I rate a school, I look at 3 things. Parent involvement, teacher performance, and how the students grade in their studies. Students are continuing to perform at their highest levels. Although I remember not long ago, we rated at a "10", now we are a rated at "9". I just want to remind everyone the reason we all work so hard at Hollow hills. That reason is "Our Children". I wish that teachers and members of the PTA could remember this and try to leave their personal issues outside the school.

My child attended Hollow Hills for seven years. Hollow Hills has a good reading incentive program called "The Accelerated Reading Program" which is designed to motvate the students to read more. In the child's last year at this school, the teacher for that year didn't like the program for some reason. I sent a couple of emails requesting that she use the program because the reading output of the child was way down in her class. The teacher refused to use the reading program and the principal didn't do anything to help me or the child either. It seemed to me that the teacher was not focussed on what was best for the child. I write this for the benefit of future students of this school. The star ratings below refer to the last year of the child's attendance as before that I would have given 5 stars.

I'm a former student. I went to this school from K through 6, and had a horrible time. I was smart. I had wonderful grades for them. I was just a little out of the ordinary, in terms of the way I thought and did things. Hollow Hills wouldn't have it. The staffers were no help, completely unwilling to cooperate. I was pretty much torn apart by all the students, teachers, and principal, to the point where the next year, when I left for junior high and was actually appreciated, I had no idea how to deal with it, had a mental breakdown, developed OCD, and had to leave for an independent study school so I could actually work. My younger brother and a friend of his have had similar experiences and both have dropped out of HH and are now going to the aforementioned independent study school. Bottom line: If you have kids who think outside of the box, are the artistic sort, etc., this is the last place you'll want to send them. No tolerance or mercy here from students or staffs. It did, however, build character for me.. For better or worse.

Love this school. Great teachers and staff. Very caring and positive environement. I never once had a problem in the past two years my son was here. Wish we didnt have to move , will miss his teachers and the school. Great parents involvement too.
