Hillview Middle School

Hillview is a great school by all means. Excellent teachers, some are positively very strict, which I'm very happy with, taking the extra step to push their students to excel. Very cooperative and understanding staff and administration, pleasant to deal with. My oldest son is graduating in June and my middle son is joing Hillview in August, so our constructive relation will continue. WAY TO GO HILLVIEW. KEEP IT UP.

My Son is attending and will be graduating in June. It has been a great and challenging experience for him. I am extremely impressed with the teaching and curriculum that Hillview Middle School offers. It has great teachers and a great staff and principal and vice-principal. I am looking forward in sending my daughter in the future.

Great leadership, involved parents. This school (like most) is exactly what you make it, and gives the involved parent the tools for their child to succeed. My daughter is thriving here.

Hillview is a great school with a caring staff. I like the changes the new principal and vice principal have implemented. They are on top of things and are always out and about. The academics are right on with state standards. Keep up the good work HV!

Hillview is a decent school. The sports are the best in the league and always have been. Certain teachers such as Mrs. Glasscock, Mr. Iverson, Mrs. Taylor, and Mrs. Crosser actually make you think about things and ask questions. Not only that but they also make learning fun. Although the sports and the academics are decent, the school itself is trashy.

Hillview does challenge students to do their best, both in the classroom and during extracurricular activities. The school involves the parents in its curriculum. The school's administrative processes could be much improved, however.

It is the best school ever and I miss it very much. It had the best teachers, Mrs. Smith, Mrs.Eby, Mrs.Curtier, Mrs. Greaver, Mr. Conrad, and some of the best students, Haley Fonzi(me!) , Zachary Green, Kendall Mead, Ricardo, Jacky, Leslie, and one well miss is Danielle Fernandez!

I have spoken with the Principal many times,our first conversation was prior to the move to principal status. As far as his ideas and wanting to make changes for the better. So far,I have yet to see changes that could really make a big difference for the kids.Unfortunatley,when it comes to the actual taking care of something he states to parents,this has yet to happen.We have given this school almost 3 years to help our child,meetings,etc...and have received zero results.I do know the difference from another state & compared to all of Ca(born & raised Ca) the meaning of 'for the children' is not really 'for the children'.It is for the best scores and the # rating they have. Which comes from scores not actual parents or kids.I greatly am disappointed in myself for believing in this school,and this district 4 allowing the way parents/kids are treated.

Hillview is a school where the children come first. Each child is encouraged to do their personal best without being labeled as the smart or dumb kids. The teachers work hard to bring out the best in each child.

I have spoken with the principle on a couple occasions, he seems to care very much about improving the school. I can't remember the last time I have seen this in someone in the Ca. schools. It's important to him that the staff & students improve with communication and education. I must say so far I am very impressed and have enjoyed each conversation with him. Also, to me each time we have spoken I left feeling wow there is someone who cares about his school and wants the best for it. I am very hopeful with the upcoming years my child has there and can't wait to see the progress.

They have excellent sport teams, good acedemics and good teachers. If you have a child that is interested in sports and other activities hillview should be a good school for them.

We moved from the Los Angeles school district which had a caucasion rate of 2%, my blond hair Blue eyed sixth grader would get picked on every day. Now she is where there is a good mix and she has gone from D's and F's to A's and B's. Westside school District is great!
