Hillcrest is nice but a few teachers and students don't care about school, teachers are mean and sometimes their behavior is concerning.

The communication is terrible among different groups. But the band section is fantastic, along with the wrestling program.

It is a good school overall, most teachers definitely do a good job at teaching kids the curriculum. And what they need to know in order to be successful. It definitely has its pros and cons just as other schools do. But what I do know, is that I will forever have good memories of Hillcrest.

A good neighborhood high school. It’s large in size but it has a fantastic art and theater program. The plays and musicals are far above what you would expect from a high school.
