I am very happy with the well rounded and challenging education that Hillcrest provides my daughters. My daughters love going to school every day. Hillcrest provides so much more than the public school can offer. Having the opportunity to have French class every day starting in Kindergarten is awesome. The environment at Hillcrest is very warm and nurturing. This is our second year and we look forward to many more years with Hillcrest.
This school has provided an unbelivable educational envionrment for my elementary child and my middle schooler. The challenging cirruculm has provided many opportunities for my middle schooler to compete academically outside the walls of the school. From the County Science Fair to participating with the John Hopkins tallented youth program. The school also provides forieign language, art & music which are not offered or have been taken away from the public school environment. These are provided as young as Kindergarten.
The school lacks luster and the environment is not suitable for kids with dreams. It hinders creative thoughts, and the teachers are more interested in vacations for them, not the students. ie NYC instead of an educational based trip to Washington DC, especially in today's world and the economic times we are facing. This is a la la school.
We enrolled both of our elementary school-aged children at Hillcrest this year. While they were unchallenged by the curriculum and limited arts and science offerings in the public school system, they are both thriving in the rich educational environment offered at Hillcrest and absolutely love learning French and music. We're thrilled with the well-behaved/ mannered students, orderly classroom and nurturing staff and the kids both agree that they are learning so much more at their new school. We'll never return to public school after our experiences with Hillcrest.
