School Reviews
5 6/9/2020
My children attended Happy Hollow Elementary School, and received an excellent educational foundation, which contributed to their academic success in both middle and high school. I can't say enough about how wonderful the teachers, staff, and academics are at this school. We moved to another state, after leaving here, and both kids were so advanced academically that they skipped grades, graduating at the end of their 11th grade. Thank you HHES for preparing my kids for success!
