RFH truly has something for every student to learn and find an activity they can be passionate about. #1 Academics - WOW! the class and elective options are extensive and include a LOT of AP / Honors classes if your child wants to take that path. The quality of classes are really great and have been so impressed by the teachers. #2 Activities - so many clubs and ways to get involved. #3 Athletics - Yes the teams are great (with many state titles) BUT - there really is an athletic opportunity for every student if they want to be part of a team (Freshman teams, large JV squads, club sports, or ability to be a team manager). #4 Arts - Marching Band, music program and school plays.

Our family is so fortunate to be part of Knollwood. The administration is constantly making improvements to the curriculum and they really go above and beyond for the Knollwood students. I had 2 children in the district during Covid; the school quickly adapted and worked with the state to get our kids back into school as soon as possible, serving as a model to other schools on what to do. Our kids were back to school MONTHs if not a year before other districts. After Covid, it would have been so easy for the teachers and admins to stop offering the many special events (field trips, 8th grade trip to DC, wilderness getaway and other traditions but they brought all of that back as quickly as possible plus many other improvements (an enhanced gifted program, extra club sports, etc). Beyond core academics, kids benefit from an incredible music program starting in 4th grade, clubs during recess and afterschool, athletics, school plays etc). Our PTA and Board are very involved and offer so many extra programs and experiences for our children (Fall Fair, babysitter certifications, book fairs and so much more that I'm forgetting). I can't give this school and district a high enough rating.

What is my experience: I have had three children go through/currently at Sickles. We have absolutely loved our experience there so far; the staff is kind - the principal goes as far to remember ever child's (parents and siblings often too!), the offerings are wonderful (lots of stem incorporated, and if you need special services, such as speech, the staff is wonderful). The PTA in this town is incredible and the events are coordinated are top notch and very family oriented! We highly recommend this town and school district to all of our friends!
