Hill Elementary School has been a top primary education provider in Westover Hills for over half a century. Like many schools in Arlington Independent School District, Hill is named after a trailblazing educator. In 1892, Maclovia Hill was among the first female graduates of the University of Texas. She taught in the district along with her sister, Nina Hill, for several decades. Today, Hill Elementary continues to uphold the Hill sisters’ commitment to excellence.
The school’s exemplary performance record and enrichment opportunities have earned it numerous honors. Hill received a perfect rating from Greatschools.org for student test scores and a National Blue Ribbon School. The school offers several unique ways for students to expand learning beyond the core curriculum. In the Foreign Language Experience program, students are introduced to a new language every year. They learn Spanish, French, Chinese, Latin and German. Students can also compete in a math pentathlon, sing in the choir, run in Marathon Kids and even work in the school’s garden. A long-established, outstanding reputation and high-quality extracurricular programs make Hill Elementary a leading choice for pre-K through fifth grade education in Westover Hills.

it was an okay school, i went there for two years and i had some close friends and all. one time a kid ran away to anderson high school. the academics are okay and on par, and the teachers are cool. i dont know how i is now since the principal is different and all, but its a pretty average school.

Although Hill, like all schools, is not perfect, our children have had very positive experiences. Their personal and intellectual growth over the 2.5 years they have been at Hill has been astounding. The enrichment programs are excellent.
