I am an eighth grader at Hillview and I think it is an awsome school. I have had a few problems with some kids but I have a great group of friends to hang out with as well. When I did have any problem with a student, teacher or anything the principal Ms. Valasco is so easy to talk to along with all of

Last year some of the new teachers did not know what they were doing which made it hard to learn in that class, most of the kids took advantage of the teacher because of his/her inexperience. For the uniforms I feel that they are a great thing at hillview becuase of how the kids present themselves on free dress day. If you want the best teachers for your child I would get involved.

As a former student, (now attending Pittsburg High School) i would say that Hillview was pretty decent. The uniforms really help less fortunate kids. Leadership is not very good.

Mr. Kelly is a very good science teacher, Ms. Pounds, a very good math teacher, and Ms. Banks is a decent english teacher - if they are still there. Their aren't many good groups of students either. Overall I would rank this school a 4 out of 10. Read less

I'm having a difficult time having had my son come from an excellent public elementary (Los Medanos) to Hillview. He's getting D's and F's, no summer school enrollment, and I have yet to get a call from a counselor. I'm so disappointed in this school and the faculty. The teachers that have been there

My child has not had a good experience at Hillview, as I observed one day, the teacher appeared snappy, rude, and without patients. Perhaps it was a bad day. My child has never had such bad grades!

While there are several good teachers and administrators, the school is chaotic and the kids are basically unsupervised. I would not send my kids there if ANY alternative at all was available.
