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.

My Daughter has just graduated from Hillgrove and we had a very good experience overall. The only department that felt under for us, was the counseling. For kids or families, from other countries that are not familiar with the US educational system, it can be a big challenge. At the beginning, we wo...
