Once you walk into Hillcrest hallways, you can feel a difference! It is warm and positive. The teachers go far above expectations. Students feel safe and love learning. Joy emanates from every classroom and seeps into the hallways. The building sparkles and shines as it is kept very clean. Several avenues are available for communication. I have used the Remind app in the evening, not expecting a response, yet received one immediately! Many teachers and staff volunteered their summer weeks to put on fabulous activities for students. The kids and staff were all smiles!! What a positive vibe! They are bursting at the seams as it is such a popular school. I hope the bond measure passes for them as they have a amazing thing going!

Excellent! Love the teachers and staff. The teachers are very involved, great at communicating, and actively involved with each student.

There seems to be a lot of poor communication between parents and teachers; and teachers not informing parents of important issues in the school. Their bussing system is a joke and has problems daily that are never resolved. Their recording systems on the busses are working mediocre at best so whenever they need to pull footage to see what is happening on the bus, I find out that "oops, there was a problem with the recording device and it didn't record anything today". Not okay.

This is a wonderful and safe school. Our kids are very happy here. The Principal and staff are very supportive and knowledgable. Than you everyone at Hillcrest!!
