Summary

Fox Hollow Elementary School is a mid-sized public school in Aurora, Colorado, serving 555 students in grades PK–5 as part of the Cherry Creek School District No. 5. The school currently holds a 3-star state rating, ranking 293rd out of 943 Colorado elementary schools—solidly above average at the 69th percentile, though a noticeable step down from its 5-star, top-100 standing a decade ago.

Fox Hollow's clearest academic strength is mathematics. In the most recent testing year, 57.3% of students scored proficient or advanced in math, well above the district (44.2%) and state (37.3%) averages. Notably, math scores exceed the school's own English Language Arts proficiency of 55.6%—an unusual pattern, since most elementary schools perform better in reading. Nearby Trails West and Rolling Hills show the opposite gap. The biggest red flag is 5th grade science, which collapsed from 56.8% to just 25.9% proficiency in a single year, landing well below district and state averages. Meanwhile, neighbors like Creekside (64.7%) and Trails West (59.0%) continue to post strong science scores, making Fox Hollow's drop stand out even more.

Attendance and equity outcomes are genuine bright spots. Chronic absenteeism sits at just 14.4%—roughly half the district rate of 25.3%—and economically disadvantaged students perform in the top quarter of schools statewide, with Hispanic students ranking in the 97th percentile in a recent year. The school does carry larger class sizes (15.4 students per teacher) than many peers, and 3rd grade reading is a soft spot at 43.3% proficiency versus the district's 45.1%, though scores jump markedly by 4th grade. Given that the school's poverty rate has risen from 21.6% to 31.5% in recent years, Fox Hollow's steady math and reading performance is genuinely noteworthy.

Open Quote Awesome families, neighborhood and kiddos. TERRIBLE Special Education experience. The Principal wasn't a good administrator or knowledgable about SpEd, and the SpEd teacher, psych, and social worker were under experienced, retaliatory and too prideful to work with outside professionals who know SpEd children. There was a refusal to collaborate and in the special needs world, this hurts our kids when schools aren't collaborative or knowledgable. My kiddo was hurt. The good news is the Principal has been moved this upcoming year so hopefully some areas can improve, but the SpEd teacher and some others need strong training. If you have a kiddo in Special Education I would be wary of this neighborhood school. Close Quote

Open Quote I have had a very so-so experience with Fox Hollow. We moved to the area four years ago and picked the neighborhood because of Fox Hollow. We loved it the first year we were there. Now, the school is overcrowded. The parking lot is a zoo. I have to fight tooth and nail to get my son a little extra help in reading. He is obviously struggling, and his teacher agrees, but the school insists that there are more needy kids in the school now. The Catholic church up the street is building a school and I plan on sending my son and my younger two kids there as if I can get them in. Close Quote

Open Quote Used to be a great school. Has gone steadily downhill since the new principal started 3 years ago. We have been at the school for 8 years now and its very sad. The school is deaf designated school for district, plus the children from Village East are allowed to attend as well even though Fox Hollow is operating at full capacity. These additional students use resources that the neighborhood kids now have a problem receiving, like extra help for reading or math. Two years ago the principal elected to cut the G&T program to half time, so the kids that need work on the high end of the learning spectrum are not being taken care of adequately. This year there is no librarian. Plus the school is overcrowded, there are over 800 kids at the school. When we started 8 years ago, there was a wonderfully diverse group of teachers, men & women, young and older teachers. Now the staff consists of mainly middle aged white women. Close Quote
