(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - I Am In Eighth Grade Right Now And I Love This School Because Its A School Where Everybody is Friends With Each Other And I Like That Alot . And The Dress Code Is Really Simple Like : No Sagging , No Revealing Tops , No Short Shorts . From Last Year The Only Field Trip That They Offered ( To The Whole School ) Was The San Antonio Trip And Specific Trips If You Are In Band Or Athletics Or Choir . No They Do Not Allow CellPhones If They Catch You With Your Cell They Will Take It Up And Make You Pay A $15 Fine To Get It Back .

(3 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - Fossil Hill is alright. I'm currently an 8th Grader and I'm enjoying the school year,despite some rather "strict" staff...all in all,I probably wouldn't want to be transfered to any other school...Our Principal is cool,new Vice Principal is a total buzzkill though,miss Ms.Ellis *sigh* i really loved my 7th grade year though!!

- I think that Fossil Hill was an awesome school. This school has amazing faculty. I was very close with all of my teachers. It's been about 3 years since I was a student there. I am now a Junior in High School and I wish that I could come back so I could see my teachers again. I reccomend this school. They have great qualities, and can most definately meet the needs of your child's education. :)
