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.

My experience with Hillcrest high school has been good. I have had a few teachers that I really liked but I had a lot that I really didn't like or that didn't teach well. The counselors aren't super helpful and a lot of times they act grouchy and mean to do their jobs. The culture, sports, and student involvement is very good at Hillcrest. They offer a good amount of dual credit classes which is great but I wish they had a few more elective options.

We were active duty military for many years and have been involved in many different schools over the years in many states and overseas. This is BY FAR the worst school we have encountered. This school is too overcrowded for the administration to have control over the student body. There was an inci...
