I have four children that attend Fox Hill. I moved from inner city Boston, MA to allow my children to attend a better school.
My oldest child is in 5th grade. She has been at Fox Hill since 2nd grade. She has had her mandatory assessment test and to my delight I am proud say she is reading at 12th grade level, spelling at an 8th grade level, comprehension at 4th (needs some work)
Overall I give Fox Hill Elementary 5 stars.
For a public school the level of commitment that the entire faculty shows is unmatched
Bravo Fox Hill! Close Quote
