My children love their school and friends. Although lately, I've noticed there is only one person at the front office and sometimes there are two teachers but rarely now. I also noticed my children one time coming home saying they have a contest in school to fill a jar with coins and the class having the most coins filled will win ... odd ... I feel that the school is conserving soo much of their funds and making it difficult for other teachers. They also have a new program for younger children where parents can enroll their children for a few hours everyday and pay 300 a month. Even daycare centers having good curriculum is less expensive than what the school offers and it is a full day. I don't get what is happening internally but I for sure do not like what I am seeing.

This school is an absolute joke. The admin doesn’t know what they are doing, the teachers are unsupported and under engaged, and the special education department is infuriatingly insufficient. We hate it here and for how expensive property taxes in our area are, I would hope for our kids to get a much better education.

We absolutely love Big Hollow! This is my 6th year as a BH parent, and every year my kids have had amazing teachers who truly care about them. The teachers and staff are like family, and the community itself is just so friendly and welcoming. The teachers and admins emphasize character education. The superintendent is very involved, you see him at most events. It’s a wonderful school!

I do agree with a couple other reviewers. Teachers actually talk bad about their students in front of classes with other students. Those students have gone back and told my son this. This is childish and should not be tolerated from grown adults, especially ones that are supposed to be mentors for our children. My son needed extra help and was in a special program, when he was doing better they moved him back to a different class in the program where he struggled. I’m told this is to help him when he gets older and starts working. Let’s first focus on helping him get through high school. That seems like it should be a top priority for both the parent and the school system. It seems as though they are setting the kids up for failure, not sure if it’s a race thing or not. Possibly as someone else mentioned, if you’re not part of those students that excel, they don’t care. They will also lie to the parents, they think they’re smarter than you and you’ll believe what they’re saying if they say it enough times. It saddens me that I initially trusted staff at this school. Hard lesson learned.
