GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I loved attending Hillcrest High-school, it has a great environment. I had lots of good relationships there not only with friends but with teachers as well as administrators.

I have enjoyed attending Hillcrest High School very much these last four years. The teachers I have had for the most part have been very great teachers; all of them have been very helpful and nice. I've never had a problem with any of the administration, and it's been a great experience for me.
