I would have never chose this school in a line up however we were fortunate to have our children attend. We have 3 children at Flying Hills and have had wonderful teachers every year from kindergarten to 5th grade. They are an arts driven school which makes learning fun for our children. I have a child who had a hard time adjusting to school and transition. The principal Mr. Lyche is awesome, he is very involved with my child and put in place a plan where the teachers and other staff communicated with me on a daily basis to help my child become more successful in the school environment. This year I have not had to attend any parent meeting and my child is succeeding just fine. The PTA is awesome they host various events through out the year which allows families to be more involved and parents to mingle and take part in the success of the school and our children. Absolutely love this school.

I am a current 6th grader and love this school but i think theyre way to focused on arts. Overall i think its a wonderful school. The teachers really care about you too. They try to adjust to a middle school, but it doesnt work.... -6th grader

You will not find another school around that is as great as Flying Hills. Small school feel, with very dedicated teachers and a principal and staff that truly know how to work together to create a community of learners and doers! This school gave my daughter the desire for Fine Arts, and when she graduated was very sad. But...she has the desire now to get involved in theater and I've seen her self confidence soar!! Thank you Flying Hills teachers and staff!

I am so biased about our school. We moved here 6yrs ago and did not know how fortunate we would be come. Our school has the FAME program, which everyone starts automatically in 3rd grade. We have art, science, a P.E program thanks to a dedicated PTA family who pays for it. In fact one of the reasons our school is so great, besides the dedicated teachers and on top of it principal is the fact that we have a great PTA which does so many events that bring the parents, teachers and students together practically monthly. Our kids have learned guitar (how many schools offer music anymore). We have an amazing group of teachers that help with the children that need that little extra bit of care, i.e. ADHD, Asperbergers. Flying Hills is a public school and is this little hidden jewel in the neighborhood. We are so blessed to be fortunate enough to attend there.

I am a Flying Hills Alumni class of 2000. I absoulutely loved this school and the FAME program. I would say that yes a lot of the school/art work is done at home. But it taught me organizational skills and leadership because I had to get the scool work done. I do feel the FAME program has slipped and gone downhill some but the teachers have changed since I was there. And last I noticed the FAME program was on the uphill of getting back to what it use to be when MS. Abel, Mrs. Estegren, Mr.Jackam, and Mrs.Barnes/Ms. Bunday. If I had kids right now I would definately still have my kids go to this school.
