This school needs to get rid of its segregation of Hispanic students from other students. I would still recommend this school since the teachers are great, however, the administration needs to work on its inclusion. It is unfair that non-Hispanic students come out of Fox Lane High School way more prepared for college and life than the Hispanic students that make up 38% of the student body. Do better.

I regret moving here and sending my children here. It was an awful experience that I don’t wish on anyone.

A lot of funding goes into things that aren't really needed, for example the court yard that was recently built. Students are not even allowed to use it. Also the field was redone less than ten years ago in my personal opinion it was not unnecessary, but then again I don't know if the field had to be torn up to fix the track. I find that some teachers and one of the deans use their power to intimidate students which is so wrong. Something needs to be done about that. Most teachers think it is ideal to have at least one hour of homework per class per night, in my opinion that is just absurd. A lot of the staff waste time on enforcing petty rules that don't quite make a difference anyway, like school issued locks. All the time and energy wasted on that could most definitely be used to enforce better rules like rules about bullying, personally some of my friends and even myself were severely bullied and nothing was done about it when it was brought to someones attention and the cruel actions continued until it became physical in some cases. There are a lot of internal problems at Fox Lane, I don't think that the school should be rated so highly with such poor care for the students.

Fox Lane High School is probably the best high school in Westchester County! The teachers are attentive to the students and are willing to help them out. I have built confidence by going to this school. The school has a Club Fair to get the students involved. Fox Lane is a great environment for learning and socializing. Switching to Fox Lane was the BEST decision I ever made!

Recently renovated, great facilities. All resources are in place for students to succeed, whether it's an AP student or not. Many different clubs, sports, and activities really transform this school to a community.

This school is outstanding. A majority of the families in this school district could afford to send their children to private schools, and they choose to send them to Fox Lane. The teachers are highly qualified, and the school has resources and classes available to gifted students, special needs students, and every student in between. The parents are encouraged to volunteer and be involved in their child's education.

We have three kid in Fox Lane system, I can say that the teachers are really, REALLY nice, but they are to many kids for each counselor. Then the new "latinos " that they are coming from Mount Kisco, some of them are nice, but you found classes that have kids between 15 and 20 years old in the same class and the "system" treat them different and its not fare for them. When you are a "visit" in an other country you have to adapt yourself to a new language and everything and you have to do your best, and in this case when you treat some one "different"(like and island) isolates from the rest off the normal classes you never gonna be your best
