The Teacher student ratio at this school is around 22 to 1. The administration is not attentive to the parent of student needs. The only salvation are the tenure teachers. There are no enrichment programs beyond reading.

My daughter attends Fawn Hollow and I am disappointed at the condition of the school building for a town that has such a high budget, high taxes. I also wish there were more programs for gifted/advanced students. Regardless, my daughter is happy and learning at a phenomenal rate which I attribute to the excellent quality teaching staff they employ.

Fawn Hollow School is modeled after the HOTS(Higher Order Thinking Skills)school prototype, where the arts are incorporated into the curriculum. There are ample extra-curricular activities offered through the Arts and Imagination program. Fawn Hollow's Town Meeting is unique to the school, and is a venue for the children to exercise their creative skills.
