My daughter attended Kindergarten at Hill this year. We moved 2 months before school was out to Mansfield. I was extremely pleased with Hill. As a mom with a Kindergartener going to public school for the first time, I was very nervous and very skeptical. I couldn't have been more pleased! Her teacher

She was excellent at teaching each child at their own individual level. She really cares about those kids. Parent involvement was incredible. School spirit was exceptional. I would recommend this school to anyone who is looking to move to Arlington or transfer. By the way, we were a transfer student and we were never treated any differently from those who weren't. Go Highlanders!!! We miss you! Read less

I would like to respond to the comments from different parents stating they were outsiders or outcast because they are transfer students. My daughter is a transfer student, and we have never felt excluded. We even moved here from another city and knew no one. I do agree that the TAKS test are out

As for Hill we have been very pleased. Great teachers, involved parents, and great kids. Yes, it has it's problems, but don't they all.... even the private Read less

My son will be a 5th grader at Hill next year. He has been there since 2nd grade. It may just be the way things are now a days, but it seems they work toward the TAKS test a bit too much. I am sure it's that way at every school. His every day course work is a bit repetitive. He came from a small

It seems easier if the kids go to school with the children in their own neighborhood. Bit of the outcast treatment. Read less

As a grandparent of a transfer student I had to reply to the negative message I read regarding transfer students. There has been no distinction made because of the transfer. The teachers and the office staff have all been wonderful. My grandson prefers it to the private school he attended at one point.

My son had a fabulous experience at Hill. The teachers and the administration are caring, loving, dedicated and hard working people. I, also, camped out for an entire weekend to get my children into Hill, and have transferred them every year. I never felt like a guest there -- I always felt at home.

Son will be in 5th in fall of '04. Began in kindergarten. I camped out for an entire weekend in order to get him into what I was told was the district's 'best.' Have mixed feelings about this today, but husband feels it too late to change to the (lousy) neighborhood school or a private one. He is a professor
... Read more in the humanities, I am a former newspaper writer. We have always felt like guests in the school because of our status as 'transfers;' the vice principal, the only male member of the faculty, has as much as invited us to leave. The school suffers from the pressure to live up to historically high test scores; advised too late to run, not walk, from such a place. Overriding sense of smug, self-righteous satisfaction. White, rich, conservative. Read less
