1/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageHillhouse has helped me immensely with my school work, with getting used to not always being in my comfort zone which made me a better person, and let's not forget preparing me for college. Everything you need is there it's just that people choose to not use the tools provided to them and then it makes the school look bad.Other Review7y ago
