Sleepy Hollow is an excellent school. The small size of the school population allows teachers and administrators to know every child in the school. Excellent administration and many excellent teachers. There is a broad range of extra curricular activities that are offered and the SACC program is superb. I am pleased to send my child to Sleepy Hollow.
Sleepy Hollow's unique scheduling system allows for small-group instruction and for students to interact with more than just their homeroom teacher. The teachers are caring, and there's a good mix of experienced and newer teachers. There are many school activities and traditions that make the place a real community. Our family has been at the school 8+ years, and many of the teachers and staff have been there the entire time. We love Sleepy Hollow!
The administration at SHES is excellent and so are many of the teachers! But, I agree that there is a downside for above-average students, who can suffer from a lack of attention or challenge. The school focuses the bulk of its resources on leaving no child behind, instead of advancing the achievement of students working at or above grade level. Also, the PTA works hard to offer activities, but it suffers from a lack of parent participation, with very low turn-out for most meetings.
All the teachers and principal are very involved in the education process. Yesterday I saw the principal walking a student after school to hte kiss and ride section.Everyone seems to really care. SHES has an active PTA and many activities for the kids.
