This School’s Reviews

4.0 Senior

4/23/2025

The school has really good and award-winning performing arts programs. However, there's no auditorium, which causes the performing arts programs to have to travel to other places. The facilities are decent and the education is decent too. The sports are also really good, but we don't have an actual, playable football field.

Hillcrest high school is a new and modern high school. Every school has its flaws but Hillcrest is a school of school spirit and Valor.

From my experience, the best experience I have had was my involvement. Putting myself out there made my time here more enjoyable as I could make more friends with similar goals, and have a passion for what I do. Something I would have liked to have changed was the overall student life. Many fights have occurred during my time here and it would be nice for that to end.
