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.

Hillside has given me the opportunity to attend a local community college. This helped me to finish my associate degree and make new friends. I have grown and learned from my experiences at this community college and it has helped me to be college ready.

I would like to see more parent participation. Also, our administration works hard to provide a safe environment for us. However, there are bad seeds in every bunch. The media highlights the negative stuff and never the positive. Our graduating seniors are awarded millions of dollars in scholarships each year. We have smart students working hard to make a school the best in the state.

This is horrible school. The staff don't care about the children and the principal is horrible. All the kids do here is fight. They don't have services for special needs children and will discriminate against you.
