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.

the teachers suck and are mentally abusive. the food sucks and i have allergies and can never eat the school lunch and when i tell them that i often go hungry. the principal doesn't do anything to help students last year me and my friends were getting very badly bullied and abused by another student and we go punished. there is only two good teachers Ms. Freese and Mr. blanco so if that's an option for you trust me take it. i am a student there and honestly my mental health has never been worse please don't make the mistake my parents did don't send your kids here

There is something going on at this school that is not being communicated to parents. This year, there have been knife fights in campus and several students leaving the school for bullying. Although they promote their school as inclusive and “family”, it is a total left turn from their crunchy Sebas...

I would advise against enrolling your child in this particular school if you prioritize a positive middle school experience for them. The school fosters a hostile and unwelcoming environment. The principal's lack of support and bias can negatively impact your child's emotional and mental well-being....

A great school, focusing on academics and not politics. These students do well, they are not divided by political ideologies. I praise the teachers and staff for keeping their ideologies to themselves. Hence, making school a great place to learn.

Love the location. Love the administration and the faculty. Most of all I love how everyone has been welcoming, compassionate and supportive. Students are treated equally no matter your gender race or even disability. There is much Aloha at Hillcrest!!!
