We just moved to this community last year. We are very, very pleased with Hidden Hills Elementary.

I have only had my child at this school for one year and we will not be coming back. While he is getting a good education, the communication between teachers and the principal are seriously lacking. Small social issues that should have been solved months ago have now blown up into huge issues that

I am also gravely disappointed by the number of fund raisers at this school (I stopped counting at 12, only 4 months into thechool year.) The carnivals and socials are of horrible quality and boring. I have never had my children ask to leave an after school social. But they do here and if we miss one, they do not seem to care. And the after school programs are so limited that it is a joke and the cost of them is rediculously high. Read less

Hidden Hills Elementary School does have some wonderful teachers, however, they are severely limited by the lack of leadership. Communication between grades is minimal at best, and they tend to cater to the lowest common denominator rather than build on the learning from the previous year. Some programs

Each child is encouraged to do their personal best without being labeled as the smart or dumb kids. The teachers are highly skilled and work hard to bring out the best in each child.

We had our child at this school for one year. She did receive a good academic education, however, the social aspect was very substandard.

Our children have been at Hidden Hills for 3 wonderful years and we have been nothing but impressed. The teachers are dedicated and enthusiastic and truly have the student's best interests at heart. The PTA is strong and willing to put extra effort into creating a fun, educational, and well-rounded

The prinicpal is always hands on and leads a morning ceremony with an honorary student saying the pledge and singing a patriotic song every morning. The children love her and go out of their way to give her a hug and a smile. We believe Hidden Hills has been a very positive experience thus far and have every reason to believe our children are receiving the best education possible during this fiscal crisis in our public schools.
