Both of my two children have attended Hilltop from kindergarten on, and it’s impossible to compare it to any other school. While the academic accolades speak for themselves here are a few examples of where the emotional intelligence of the teachers and staff really shine. Firstly, the care in selecting a teacher whose personality and teaching style matches your child makes an immediate impact on a child’s experience, all of my kids teachers have been handpicked for their personalities! So much learning is done outside and thru play, my kids get to regularly go on outside walks to the property to learn science and nature! When my kids were in 1st and 2nd grade (midst Covid) they would get homesick sometimes and there teachers would let them go to each other for a quick hug to boost their spirits during the day!Special accolades to mrs hoffstead, both my children had her and she should write the book on how to do it, she was just made to be a teacher and every interaction with her is positive! Special shout out to the school nurse, mrs cries-she is a master of discerning real sick from sad or scared, and she never made me feel like a bad mom when she’s called me if my kids were in her office. Lastly, but not least Mr Mach is a humble genius. As the principal he knows every kid and all the parents, he has made hilltop a premier learning destination! If you are lucky enough to go to hilltop, you are lucky enough!

Awesome teachers and staff, your child is not just a number. They really get to know your child personally and really focus on your childs strengths and weaknesses so they can teach them at their learning level, and not just a group level. Its amazing how successful your child can be in learning when this method is used. We all don't learn at the same level or pace just because we are all in the same grade. They treat all of the kids so special, and definitely deserve the recognition and support they so strongly deserve! Westonka Pride all the way!

Every teacher here could win a best teacher award. It's been a pleasure over the last few years being able to send my daughter to Hilltop. She went from a reluctant reader to joining an advanced reading group thanks to the dedication of the staff.

This is a great school! It has a true small town feeling. The teachers are excellent and go above and beyond to make sure your child is learning at their full potential. I have been very pleased with this school.
