I love this place. Everybody has been very nice to me and the admin and teachers are very approachable and responsive. There are no issues that I can say can be fixed by just this school. The students can be cliquey at times but overall it seems there is a place for everyone and everyone is able to intermingle for the most part.

As a parent and grandparent I have had my children and grandchildren flourish at Hills, particularly in the performing arts. Its academics and co-curricular meet or exceed even the best public or private institutions.

Excellent courses, teachers and administration - particularly for Honors and AP courses. Great balance of academics and extra-curricula activities. Excellent for college prep for the more/most selective colleges.
