My child started 6th grade at this school in 2011. She received failing grades in two of her classes and neither one of her teachers even bothered to notify me of her failing grades. I e-mailed her teachers and asked for a call and did not receive any response for 3 days; then I called and the principal and had to leave a message. The principal never called me back but got her teachers to right me back. They did not even give my child a chance to bring up her grades and my child has never received a failing grade up until this point!
My son is in 6th grade. I am so far disappointed with the office staff and teachers. Office staff is not friendly. Teachers allow students to fail and don't bother to talk to them to see why they're failing. They won't even contact the parent to advise them of the student failing. It seems there's no interest in helping students succeed. The principal seems as if it's time to retire but won't.
As a hillcrest student myself, i am envolved in the basketball team and can honastly say that the school is laking in the activities department..Although our school may not have many choices to choose from,the administration is very involved in the students and their well being.Many of the faculty members are very caring,and are heartfull people...Any student capible of saying they went to hillcrest is lucky!
The availability of sports and other extracurricular activities at Hillcrest Middle School is poor in comparison with other local schools who have many more activities for students. Hillcrest Middle School definitely lacks in its offerings to its students when compared to surrounding schools in the district. With some quality instructors and parent resources, I feel there is much that can be improved to provide more activity options for our students.
