Happy Hollow Elementary School

We moved to the area in 2015 from California and our son has attended 3rd and 4th grade at Happy Hollow. The school is great, it's not oversized and that makes for a more personal relationship between staff, students & families plus it creates a feeling of security as there's safety in smaller numbers when it comes to schools. The staff is wonderful all around. Any issue ever concerning our son has been handled in a way that made us feel like our child is in the care of professional educators that care for students as if they were their own children. The school staff is actively involved in any events the school has. The 2016 Holiday Sing Along before winter break was a perfect example of the positive environment promoted by the staff and obviously inspired in the students. Each grade sang a song and staff took turns performing songs as well either as soloist, duets, or the majority of the staff doing the 12 Days of Christmas on stage with creative costume and stage props which was entertaining and comical. Mr. Drake the 3rd grade teacher our son had last year performed a couple songs playing guitar and singing. Schools need more of this. The students and their parents (families) and staff actively playing a role in how our children learn and develop. Children need to see the care and support exceptional staff and educators like this provide. This was a major improvement from the education system in California. The school, the staff, the standards, and the opportunities available to students here is superior. The Gifted & Talented program and teacher (Jeanne King for HH) has filled the void our son had from not being challenged enough and needing more from a learning standpoint. His love and excitement for learning has been revived and is thriving since attending HH.This school is great for so many reasons but specifically because of the people who make it a wonderful environment to build the student's foundation for lifelong learning.

I first came to this school in the middle of the fourth grade, after leaving a different school due to bullying. I must say that this school, out of every single one I attended(and trust me, it was a lot), was by far the best. There was no bullying, the teachers and students were kind and the educational environment was great. The school provided a happy and fun place and I was happy that I got to stay there, even if it was only for 1 1/2 years.

Wonderful school, great teachers, and terrific communication. This school keeps parents very informed and has great expectations from their students. They do all the can to promote each child's learning experience.

The new facility is really nice and the faculty is absolutely wonderful. It's easy to tell that each teacher truly cares about your child and the progress they make during the school year.

We love this school. Transferred from out of state last year and were so nervous about a new school. HH is small, and has such a warm feeling. We have been very happy. My child has excelled in her environment and her test scores are awesome. They are kind and do what it takes to help your child grow and learn. If you are new to Fayetteville I highly recommend Happy Hollow school district.
