CRESTONE Plan in Briargate by D.R. Horton
Fountain Inn, SC 29644

Communication at this school is extremely poor. Important information is consistently sent home after the fact in folders, rather than being communicated in a timely and responsible way. There is little to no effort to gather details about situations before assumptions are made, which is unacceptable when it involves children.I’ve received paperwork with incomplete sentences and unclear information, which raises serious concerns about the level of professionalism and attention to detail. For a school responsible for educating young children, this should not be happening.Because of these ongoing issues, I will not be sending my child back next year. I’ve also seen firsthand that other families have had similar concerns—one of my neighbors removed their child from this school and has had a much better experience elsewhere.The lack of communication, poor documentation, and assumption-based handling of situations make it difficult to trust this school with my child’s well-being and education.

This school is absolutely trash! The principles decide the fate of students based off of how much they like them. So if a student has a previous record then they would treat this student differently compared to other "Good" students. Also the amount of garbage and trash laying around the school is insane and many students don't get the punishments they deserve. Also the lunch here is absolutely disgusting the burgers are frozen slop, many students choose to rather go hungry then eat the slop they have. Many school administrators ignore student reports and don't do anything to try and stop the bad things going on in the school. Many schools would expel students for doing terrible things against the school, but Bryson Middle sits back and gives the bad students OSS instead of expulsion in order to keep there school running due to parent funding. AND THE AMOUNT OF FIGHTS omg, the amount of fights that go on in this school is insane just a week ago 6 girls got into a fight outside and it took maybe the staff at the school 10-20 minutes to find out about it.

Hillcrest High School has some great teachers. We appreciate that the environment is supportive. The facilities and maintenance are significantly worse than at other schools in Greenville County. The concession stands are filthy inside (lights filled with dead bugs, birds nesting inside - appears it hasn’t been properly cleaned in MANY years). The press box in the stadium is on the verge of collapse. The restrooms inside the school and near the stadium are absolutely disgusting. My children have asked why they were sent to an impoverished school because the facilities are truly that bad. We have visited numerous other schools in Greenville County, and it seems Hillcrest has simply been forgotten and left behind here. I hope that GCS will address this because the staff and students deserve much better. Also, the school can’t seem to keep coaches in any sport, but it is possible that the neglected facilities also play a role in this issue.
