The school has earned the nickname the Hawk’s Nest and has received a California Gold Ribbon award, which indicates that Hillside students show progress and high achievement in meeting state requirements in testing and other areas.
The school also participates in the Leslie and William McMorrow Neighborhood Academic Initiative. Sponsored by the University of Southern California, the multi-year program hosts a Saturday academy and parent workshops.
