The school has a terrible process for applicants. They don’t answer phone and have a call back service. I haven’t been able to get ahold of a human. I either get transferred multiple times to a callback service.

Teachers are outstanding, fair, helpful, very compassionate. They are excited about teaching children. The office staff is the best in the district, they make everyone welcome and feel safe. Great area to live and raise children.

We recently moved in to the new build homes by this school and decided to give it a try. So far we have had a great experience. The poor rating it had I don’t understand and I’m my opinion is inaccurate. We have had excellent teachers so far, we have had exceptional help in reading, our reading teacher read all summer with us, she did not have to do that, we came from a rating 10 school and this school has shown us way more one on one time with our children. So far we have had a great experience.

DO NOT ALLOW YOUR CHILD TO ATTEND THIS HORRIBLE SCHOOL! This school supports bullying and force depression and anxiety on your child. If your child is bullied they will receive punishment as well my daughter has attended this school for for than 7 years and everytime she had been bullied. She has received punishment for being builed. This school does not support being gay. Or self expression. I am warning you do not allow your child to go to this school.

We have been attending Hill Creek since 2009... This school has been so amazing to my children. The dedication of the teachers and staff is appreciated by my husband and I. Their resource department is exceptional!!! The entire office staff is warm and welcoming with a principal and vice principal who are always available. We love Hill Creek!

My twins went to this school for a short 5 months before I pulled them out. Worst school we have ever had to go to. My son was bullied and they blamed it on him and punished him for it. My daughter fell on the playground and the school put her on the bus and told me she was fine that she did not have a concussion. She had a serious concussion that caused her to be in the ER all night. Her brain swelled, she lost the ability to talk for 6 hours, and she screamed in pain every 3 min for 8 hours. When I called and told the school they said they thought she was faking it. I found out the end of the year the principal and vise principal were relocated. Avoid this school at all cost!

My son has just completed kindergarten and is headed to first grade. His teacher Mrs. Murray had noticed a speech issue and contacted me right away. He was tested and was determined that he should attend speech therapy. My son also attends Project Safe which is the district before and after care program, which takes place at the school. Project safe teachers make sure that they collect the children and escort them to classroom. I love this school and how much they care for the kids and encourage the kids to strive for excellance.

I have two children at this school. They completed their first year at this school after previously attending school in another district. My son struggled with ADD and had a TREMENDOUS amount of homework in previous years, it was just too much for him. We decided to hold him back in 5th grade, and changed schools. I'm happy to say that Hill Creek worked with him immensely and he had a successful repeat of 5th grade. All B's and 1 A on his final report card. He now has confidence in himself and LOVES school. He asked me today how long he has until school starts again. He's excited to go back. My daughter in 2nd grade had a successful year as well with a great teacher. This is a quality school with staff and teachers who are dedicated to seeing children succeed.

I am a friend of someone that has children that attend this school and have heard alot of good things about this school and have been thinking of writing a review of this school and finally got around to it. As a business owner I believe this is a great school as the reports of my friends child are unbelievable for a third grader reading at an 8th grade level.
