HillCrest was scary to be a new kid in, I moved here from Oklahoma so I had to relearn everything. Everyone was incredibly nice and certain teachers grew on me. One of my best experiences would probably be the SpongeBob Musical, everyone enjoyed it and it was fun to be in and see how people reacted. My worst experience would have to be watching many fights happen, I don't like them and I don't participate in that type of thing but sometimes it get sour of hand and they happen a lot.

My overall experience with Hillcrest High school was ok but only because i could've been more involved. If I were, I would say the experience would've been better. The best part would be the people you meet, the activities you get to do if you involve yourself more and the sports but the not so good parts would be the schools cleanliness and up keeping, it could be better. Other than those I wouldn't change a thing

3/10 met some good friend and was able to take a few AP courses to shorten my time in college but the administration is corrupt, the teachers indifferent and racist, and the school fails to supply an environment conducive to prospering as a adult

Amazing advanced and AP academics. State championship winning athletics. Engaged community. Amazing school all around.

So glad i never have to set foot in this school again. This school managed to take what should have been some of the happiest years in my life and turned them into some of the worst! Hillcrest High School is Horrible!
