Hill Country Christian School is a private Christian school in Austin. It focuses on college readiness and developing Christ-like character in its students. For a smaller school it strives to provide a lot of athletic and extracurricular opportunities for its students. The best thing about the school is the community and being able to know pretty much everyone. The teachers really care about the students and their success.

We just moved to Austin and my daughters grew up in Africa. We were looking for a school where they would feel welcomed and continue to grow in their relationship with God. HCCSA met all that and more. We are very happy in choosing Hill Country Christian School. My daughters also grew in their confidence. The admin office was amazing. They answered all our questions and concerns. The downside is that they don't have much extracurricular activities.

Education is very good, majority of the staff teach well and care about the students. The only thing holding the school from a 5-star rating is that the whole of the High School is in portables. For a private school that asks $17,000 a year intuition, you'd think that they would have excellent facilities. If the school will build better facilities, they will find themselves getting higher ratings from parents and students
