GReat school..... everyone works hard and they hold kids accountable.

Beyond academic concerns, I found the school lacking in several areas related to student safety and basic student needs. Parents were not informed about an ongoing roach infestation, which raised serious concerns about transparency and the school's learning environment. Additionally, students were unable to use regular lockers, creating unnecessary challenges throughout the school day.Most concerning was an incident involving a teacher who allegedly grabbed children inappropriately. The matter appeared to be dismissed because the individual was "just a substitute." Regardless of employment status, any allegation involving student safety should be taken seriously and addressed appropriately. While there are certainly dedicated staff members at Hillside, the administration's handling of these issues left me feeling that student welfare was not a priority. Every child deserves a safe, supportive environment where they are treated as more than just a number. When reports of safety concerns are made they are “investigated” within a day or so and always “unfounded”
