This school is outstanding. A majority of the families in this school district could afford to send their children to private schools, and they choose to send them to Fox Lane. The teachers are highly qualified, and the school has resources and classes available to gifted students, special needs students, and every student in between. The parents are encouraged to volunteer and be involved in their child's education.

We have three kid in Fox Lane system, I can say that the teachers are really, REALLY nice, but they are to many kids for each counselor. Then the new "latinos " that they are coming from Mount Kisco, some of them are nice, but you found classes that have kids between 15 and 20 years old in the same class and the "system" treat them different and its not fare for them. When you are a "visit" in an other country you have to adapt yourself to a new language and everything and you have to do your best, and in this case when you treat some one "different"(like and island) isolates from the rest off the normal classes you never gonna be your best

I'm a recent graduate from Fox Lane, and let me say that I wouldn't have wanted to grow up with any other school district. This place breeds curiosity, civility, and an appreciation for a diversity aspects in life. Every teacher at Fox Lane, whether I enjoyed their styles or not, seems to feel passionately about what they teach. Caters to all levels of students in their personal educational goal, and challenges those who are up for it. A huge variety of people, clubs, sports and activities gives every person and opportunity to explore different interests and friendships. The teachers have been well selected for kids who come from professional and educationally-minded families, and many of my teachers at Fox Lane have left life-lasting impressions. Definitely an incredible school system to bring your kid into. For those students who care, Fox Lane is a truly educating, although fast-paced system.

I am a graduate of Fox Lane High, and while I do think that due to the school's very large population and size it is difficult to build comfortable relationships with teachers, the natural warmth and the sense of community there is beyond excellent. There is a niche there for everyone, and some of my best memories were built on that campus.

I am a freshmen at Fox Lane High School. Although Fox Lane is currently under a huge renovation the fox lane spirt continues to live through out the campus. Fox Lane is a diverse community, serving very wealthy and very poor, however regardless of the huge economic diversity Fox Lane is a welcoming school, with many great athletic teams and after school clubs. I love Fox Lane

A traditional and peaceful environment school, normal and safe. Great variety of clubs, sports and academic programs during and after-school. Academically it has high expectations from its student body .Most teachers are just and very professional and the school works together with the PTA to monitor and at the same time provide the students with a better school year.

Fox Lane is a very close-knitted community. Teachers always have an open door to their students with academic or individual problems. I remember one teacher commenting on how truly warm and welcoming the administration is and how politically neutral they are. He said it was very rare for schools to be as such. Academically speaking, Fox Lane had once been a blue ribbon school and is still continuing to push excellence. many former students have said that the school has truly prepared them for college and are even at a level ahead of their fellow collee students. Fox Lane has a wide range of classes: many AP's and honors classes, i believe 3 SUPA classes (Syracuse University classes taught in the school), etc. Their clubs cover habitat for humanity, sadd, cultural clubs, religious clubs- they even have a foreign exchange program. overall, I'm proud of my school.

Fox Lane is a wonderful school that has many activities and clubs that you can participate in. The teachers are really good and help you if you need it, and they teach well too. The food isn't that bad either.
