We love Grandview Middle School. We moved to this area after being at Rice Lake Elementary in Maple Grove, MN for years. The Osseo School District chose to bus kids in and create and overflow and slow down in the classrooms so we decided to move to an area with a better school and Grandview is terrific! The teachers are very helpful and my child is thriving in this success driven school. My child has flourished in this new school and its opportunities. The teachers are always available for help and they really care about your student.

Both of my two children have attended Hilltop from kindergarten on, and it’s impossible to compare it to any other school. While the academic accolades speak for themselves here are a few examples of where the emotional intelligence of the teachers and staff really shine. Firstly, the care in selecting a teacher whose personality and teaching style matches your child makes an immediate impact on a child’s experience, all of my kids teachers have been handpicked for their personalities! So much learning is done outside and thru play, my kids get to regularly go on outside walks to the property to learn science and nature! When my kids were in 1st and 2nd grade (midst Covid) they would get homesick sometimes and there teachers would let them go to each other for a quick hug to boost their spirits during the day!Special accolades to mrs hoffstead, both my children had her and she should write the book on how to do it, she was just made to be a teacher and every interaction with her is positive! Special shout out to the school nurse, mrs cries-she is a master of discerning real sick from sad or scared, and she never made me feel like a bad mom when she’s called me if my kids were in her office. Lastly, but not least Mr Mach is a humble genius. As the principal he knows every kid and all the parents, he has made hilltop a premier learning destination! If you are lucky enough to go to hilltop, you are lucky enough!
