Poor. I moved from a big house in Naugatuck to a small house in Fairfield to make sure my daughter gets a better education with better teachers.

staff is completely terrible. foods is disgusting.classes are boring students are ok but overall this school might as well be prison dont go here

The principal and teachers/staff provide structure for the students, but are the students acknowledge. What brings us to question and just amazes us as a parent(s) is minority students/students are not acknowledge.This review is in behalf parents whom have students whom give there all and are not acknowledge regardless of being a A/B student. My family and I was extremely shocked when our child and other parents discuss to us of their children that attend Hillside the ignorant rewards given to their children.Other parents and us were just extremely baffled in rewards like humming in class, etc... and a chocolate bar to go along with that award. Our child was sadden with no acknowledgement of being a A/B student. Our child informed that he does not hmmm in class that it was the student behind him.Other students whom are A/B students as well received ignorant rewards as well. Are the teachers aware of their students? Are they open minded to grasp and acknowledge students whom already have potential and/or can reach for more? Is it only based on behavior or "she/he said?" Are the students just being judged without being given the opportunity of seeing the students potential.In this new coming year of 2015-2016, will Hillside provide a newer advance structure curriculum? Will students be acknowledge or just misjudge?We have comfort with Hillside to a certain extent but we question will there be more positive changes. Hillside...we are still rooting for you...please make changes...

To begin with, this school has been so supportive of my daughter and has helped her to grow academically and socially amongst her teachers and peers. The diversity and inclusion of the school population, has created a unique culture that’s helped to enrich the understanding of different backgrounds, and what it means to be human. If you need help, I’m glad that the community of NHS is there for one another, especially during the uncertain times that we’re in. Aesthetically, the school campus is beautiful, with many options of programs that students can choose from. Communicating with the staff has always been so easy, as they are readily available via email, phone call or through the ParentSquare app. I’ve never felt at ease knowing that my daughter is safe, and as a parent, you really need that peace of mind. I would recommend this school to anyone who’s looking for the best option for their kids. To add, the evolution of the board of education, it’s administration and superintendent, all play a factor in the improvement and quality of what’s planned out and executed, for the benefit of our future leaders. There’s nothing more important than a teacher who can make a huge impact on a student, whether through big or small actions. Thank you NHS!
