Hillside Middle School is nestled in a park-like setting between Hillside and Pleasant Valley Road. One of three middle schools in the Parma City School District, Hillside is home to more than 600 students in grades fifth through seventh. Home to the Tigers, each grade is split into three teams of students – Stripes, Claws, or Paws – to create a more profound sense of community. Hillside also provides programming for special education and gifted and talented scholars. Hillside is rated above average among middle schools in the state and is often the top-ranked middle school in the district. 79% of students scored at or above proficient for math, and 73% scored at or above proficient for reading. In 2014, the curriculum was shifted away from more traditional textbook learning to integrated technology and hands-on experiential learning. Students can participate in cheerleading, cross country, football, or volleyball at the school. They can also participate in other extracurricular activities, including the yearbook club. Parents can get involved in the Parent-Teacher Association or serve as a Parent Mentor. The Parent Mentor Project promotes communication between parents, children and schools. Parent mentors provide resources, guidance and support to those looking for it. These programs and others are all part of the TIGER Way: tolerance and teamwork, integrity, graciousness, excellence, and respect and responsibility.

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.
