Hillcrest Elementary School

This school is the best! I teach in another district while my kids go to Hillcrest. I bring ideas from Hillcrest to my job. They have so many best practices going on and really want the best for every child. The teachers are great, the administration and office staff are friendly, the layout of the school works so well for the youngsters that go there. I just can't say enough good things about Hillcrest.

I absolutely love this school. They go above and beyond to get our children ready for Kindergarten and life in general. I've dealt with Hillcrest since my child was just 1 with the Early Start Program and will be saddened when she graduates second grade and has to move to a different school. I wish more schools were like Hillcrest.

Hillcrest is AWESOME!!! This is one top-notch school. From the administration down to the custodial staff - everyone is there for the children. Hillcrest has high expectations for its children and it shows! My daughter gained over 10 reading levels in 1 school year!

I love love love this school! I could do without the pre-k, baby programs and focus of FULL DAY kindergarten, but the 1st grade teachers shine above and beyond what is expected. Full attention is given to each child, I was able to participate to my full potential in helping not only my child, but others as well. both those falling behind and those accelerating at a different pace. WONDERFUL!!

We have been through K and First Grade Multiage. I love the school. Wish there was a stronger parent participation but the teachers are great!

This school does a great job with my son. The teachers are easily accessable via phone or email! Any concerns I have or questions, they have always been addressed to satisfaction. They have a wonderful strings program, along with before & after school care. My son is advanced in reading & math, and I truely feel it is because of the encouragement & guidance of his teacher. The school makes sure they have the kids in classes that fit their speed. In other words, with my son being advanced in math, the kids in his class are also advanced. Overall this school is doing a great job.
