Hillcrest has been an incredible blessing to my family. I have had 3 children attend Hillcrest and all graduated college ready and are either attending college or pursuing an advanced degree. Cannot say enough good things about the school culture, family atmosphere, and Christian education.

just save yourself a lifetime of suffering and go somewhere else or send your child somewhere else. the staff and students I've had experiences with at this school are just about the most bigoted people I've ever had the displeasure of interacting with. they even haunt you after you leave. they've messed up transcripts for so many students, including myself, making it a million times harder to send the appropriate documents over to your college or another school you're transferring to. I've heard that some things have changed since I left, but none of them are for the better. save yourself and just go somewhere else

this school is the worst school ever, i was there as an international students for 4 years. this school has the absolute most toxic community and the kids were racist to me, it has nothing the website proclaims it to be. every year more and more people leave but they still try to make everyone stay. i'm now at oaks christian and i've realized how much nicer everyone is, and how i did nothing wrong last year

The early education administration and staff provide no support to parents when children are struggling. They moved my daughter’s classroom and didn’t tell me. This is not a Christian school for children, it is a popularity contest for parents.

I have had my 4 children in Hillcrest since 2016. I have had nothing but an amazing experience. Their new Headmaster has been doing a great job building up the staff and school. I love that they are invested and pouring into families. My kids have made amazing friends and love the atmosphere.

Hillcrest is an excellent school if you are looking for a high academic, Christ-centered education. We are a family here, and everyone who comes to our campus experiences a warm welcome and a sense of belonging. The size of our school allows us to know our students and to be able to disciple them we...

I’m really impressed with the academics and student life. They teach a Christian worldview in everything. They have a great mix of serious teaching combined with a lighthearted friendly atmosphere. My family is enjoying the new student area with a coffee house in it too
