This school is very, very good. The teachers are very nice and tolerant. We something called the hillcrest way. It includes honesty, self-control, no bullying, respect, and responsibility. I'd love to come back if I could. They do not tolerate bullying in this school. The counselor here is great and solves most of the problems the students have.Hillcrest also has a wonderful ACE program. It never feels like a prison in this school. If you're wondering were to go for your child at elementary school, chose this school. Hillcrest also has many clubs. If you send your child here, I know he will love it here!

My child has attended Hillcrest for a couple of years now and he has enjoyed being there. The teachers and staff are very friendly and they strive to teach our kids as best as possible. Hillcrest in my opinion has great communication and are very flexible when needed. 'Hillcrest is simply the Best!'
