I am a current student at Hill, and I like it a lot. I'm a very active participant in the Drama program. I like this school a lot. The academics are good, and most of my classes are challenging and the teachers seem to care. We hardly ever go on field trips, and our teachers have to pay for almost everything.

My kid insisted on attending this school because of her friends, she could have gone to Rogers or Stanford, but after 2 years I am very impressed by the principal, who works late and on Sats; by the teachers, who seem uniformly dedicated and resourceful; by the activities, e.g., drama and Mock Trial

I see the same parents at school plays I knew at Kettering, with a few new faces, but that is a result of a 6 pm curtain time, it is tough to get off work early.

I am a former student of Hill Classical Middle School. May I state that this school is by far one of the worst I have ever been to. I stayed in that school for 2 years with a gloomy personality only brought on by my dissatisfaction of the other students' behavior as well as the teachers' and principals'.
... Read more Most children dislike school because of the work that is given to them. But this is not the case. Before I was enrolled in this school, when I went to a private school (where I learned most of my writing skills) I absolutely loved learning and looked forward to going to school. This school absolutely crushed my expectations and my enthusiasm. I absolutely would not recommend this school. While the academic courses may be acceptable, everything else is not. Some parents may believe this is a good school, I can guarantee it's not. Read less
