I have been going to Hillcrest my entire life, and I love everything about it except for one thing: the rules they choose to enforce. The dress code is sexist against females, but they only really call out the females who aren't related to someone who works at the school. Also, when sexual harrasment occurs, they don't really do much about it. Other than that, I love the small atmosphere of the school with the teacher to student ratio.

I moved my kids to Hillcrest from a larger school. My boys have more attention from the teachers and administration. They are able to participate in a wide variety of activities. And they are building great relationships with other students. Proud to be a Screamin' Eagle family. -- M Powell
