The schools is great. There are some amazing teachers and terrific programs. They strive for excellence in academics, art, music, and sports. Almost without exception, the parents view education as extremely important. The children work very hard to achieve and they tend to be successful. The atmosphere
... Read more is supportive and the children are supportive of each other. If I could change anything it would be to de-emphasize the school based midterms and finals. There is almost no emphasis on state assessment tests since the children do so well. Most of the children would probably reach competency level years before the state ever tests them. Great school, great kids, great teachers and great administration. Could you ask for anything else? Read less

I go to this school and I think it's one of the best schools in the CNY area. I do really well here compared to how I did before I moved. Nearly all the teachers try to stay after school and sometimes skip lunch, if a student needs help with something. The music and sports programs are amazing. However

My daughter is a gifted student and has done well here but there have been some problems. There needs to be more tracking of students from an earlier age not just from 8th grade.

More time needs to be spend on basic math facts and reading. They tend to teach to the state tests. The level of parent involvement drops significantly in middle school. It appears that they focus on the majority and those with learning difficulties and left behind.

This school is very well organized. The dress code seems a little strict. My child always complains because she has nothing to wear. She is glad that she doesn't have to wear a uniform.

I am very disappointed in the 2 reviews I have read. My 5 children (who have a wide range of learning abilities) have done very well both academically and socially at Eagle Hill. At each school they attended within the district I felt the teachers were teaching my children as individuals rather than

Communication both formally and informally between the teachers and the parents has always been wonderful. My children have thrived incredibly in the FM school district and have had some incredible teachers along the way! I would highly recommend this school district and I have no regrets moving to this area so my children could attend the FM schools. Read less
