Pretty good. Most of the teachers are really great and motivate the kids to learn. A few bad teachers that nobody likes but I think every school has that. Lots of options for after school clubs including a GSA which is nice. Most of the teachers are really supportive of LGBTQ+ students and the school has options to change your name in the system which is sick. Overall just a great school with pretty nice people

As a student attending this school, compared to other schools iv'e been to this school by far is the best one. Most people are friendly, bullying isn't such an issue as the school is true to their word about the "no tolerance policy". The teachers are easy to get along with making it possible to grow an emotional connection to them, making it easier and slightly more fun to learn. The school is also flexible with what the student is comfortable with when it comes to learning environments and/or struggling with classwork in general.

Despite the typical school bathroom goblins, by some miracle HHS somehow manages to outpreform the other schools by a long shot. The teachers are also great. I graduated, 10/10 would recommend.

I attended Hilton High School and it was a wonderful experience. I was well prepared for college and the teachers and staff were caring and taught me about being accountable and gave me some wonderful opportunities.

As a former student I can definitely say that the Hilton CSD is one of the best districts in Monroe county. The school has prepared me and my colleagues to excel in universities. Many in my class attend world class universities such as Cornell, New York University, MIT, and the University of Pennsylvania. The district has done everything in their power to hire promising teachers that are passionate in their subject. If one studies during their time here, it will be beneficial to them as I feel more prepared in college than my other classmates in college do. Overall a fantastic school, don't bother sending them to a private school unless religion is important in your child's education.

Reading the responses, I'd like to see more reported by parents and less by students, or a separate section for student comments. As a parent, i could not ask for a better program for my child. He is very involved in the music program, which is top-notch, winning Grammy awards the past 2 years, going on trips to allow students to learn from masters in the field. In addition, my son is a top scholar, ranked in the top 5 of his class. There are many AP, IB and Honors classes available, plus the counselors are willing to meet with students/parent to be sure that each student is getting involved in courses that will stimulate them and allow them to not only learn, but to grow. My son's counselor, after hearing he was thinking of engineering as a career, suggested a local summer program at the University of Rochester, got us the application & wrote his a reference so nicely that it earned him a scholarship. I find the teachers, for the most part, will go out of their way for a student who is eager, willing to learn and respectful. While this school does have its share of sports, there are many non-sport clubs and activities to get involved in, something more parents should do!
