Our child has had a good experience overall at Hillcrest. We've been very happy with the teachers, both here and at other schools in the Peekskill district. This year's teachers (5th grade) are particularly kind and competent, running a well-organized classroom with lots of parent communication. The...

There are many extracurricular activities available at Hillcrest. They are a "community school" and as such there are ample after school activities available: Girl and Boy Scouts, STEM, yoga, music. There are great band and chorus opportunities as well as a dual language program.
