My experience with Hillside High School was a mix of good and bad. The best part was being a part of JROTC and all the activities they offered. It was fun and gave me a sense of teamwork and discipline. The worst part was that some of the classrooms were too cold during the winter, which made it hard to focus. I think it would be great if the school improved the heating in classrooms to make them more comfortable for students.

Hillside was ok for me, there are very needed improvements these must do for saftey and also education.

Best: Hillside High School's supportive teachers and engaging curriculum encouraged personal growth and academic excellence. Worst: Limited resources and an overly competitive environment created undue stress and hindered work-life balance.

I have raised 3 children in the Hillside community with my husband. We had children at every single school. I am a teacher myself, as with any community, both sides need to be reciprocated parents, teachers, students, and administrators. Essentially then, all schools are successful.

I am a parent of a student attending Hillside High . To say that I am disappointed would be an under statement. The school administrators or under qualified to say the least. The Principal remains out of serious issues and allows the under qualified VP's take charge of the matter. They allow small i...

In a very bad area. No diversity. Parents are seldom involved. Staffing isn't great. Would never put my kids in here. Constant fights breaking out. Bullying is a major issue here.
10/1/2012
contu...... Its for the students so they can be in a comfortable learning environment. Its all about the students. Were here to learn. They dont care because they already went to school.
