8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageLike someone said below the 6th grade team was great, however if you are not one of the well known families or you child is not a superstar at sports good luck. That school took every bit of confidence from my daughter. She went from loving to being at school from 5th grade which she was in a different school district to 8th grade never wanting to go crying everyday before school because she felt so alone there. Mind you my daughter is a straight A student and received the presidential award for her class but was not a super star at sports so she was not excepted. There is so much depression at this school it is unreal and it is not addressed because its not the right group of kids that need the help. OPEN YOUR EYES STILLMAN AND SEE ALL OF YOUR KIDS AS GREAT NOT JUST THE ONES WHO PLAY SPORTS. Might get you a title now but sports in the future to these kids will not help the their grades will.Other Review10y ago - Highland Elementary School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis grade school is excellent. Teachers and principal are invested scholastically and emotionally in the students. They go the extra mile and care that my children (and all students) get the best education possible. This is a great school!Parent Review13y ago - Stillman Valley High School

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis is not a good school for college readiness, and I have no idea why anyone thinks that. There is little to no homework and it's very sad. Also, if you need extra help or accommodations, it's never going to happen, I had many doctors send many notes about testing accommodations and I never got them. Also, if you are a park of any minority and don't fit into the schools "normal" you will get bullied, attacked, and harassed. If you are a part of the LGBTQIA community you will get attacked and called slurs and specifically if you are transgender, nonbinary or any other term other than cisgender you will get death threats. It made me genuinely sick seeing only good reviews on this school and if you or your child like the school and/or don't see its problems then you and/or your child ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM!!!!Other Review2y ago
