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.

Wonderful school! Couldn't be happier! It is a school that focuses both on academic and character education. The teachers and Principal really care about the children.

Hilltop is a wonderfully supportive school that values both academics and character. The administration, counselors, and teaching staff are equally outstanding and vested in students' growth and learning. Because of the school's small size, there is a focus on each student as an individual. I feel fortunate to be included in such an outstanding school community.

Hilltop Elementary has been an amazing experience for my daughter. We relocated to the area and the principal and administration have been attentive and wonderful from the start. The teachers are compassionate and understanding and take their time with each student. There is a strong level of school pride and community. She loves her classmates and is engaged throughout the day and we know we have picked the perfect school for her.

We are so pleased we switched to Hilltop and our children...

Hilltop has a solid team of teachers and got a (much needed) new principal in 2011 who shows all the signs of being a great long term addition. The town values its schools, and is very active in supporting them.
