Hillcrest Elementary School

Getting ready to take my son out of the school. He has been gone there for about almost a year now he takes the bus to and from school they’re always late or extremely early. I have health issues the bus drops my son off at the door but get told if I’m not outside That they will take my son without my permission and turn him into DCFS and call the police on me. They scream and yell at the parents never working with them. They act like it’s their child and they’re above the law if you have a health issue and don’t do what they say , forget them trying to help you. These are just my opinions on what it’s been going on in my situation. And if you have a concern and you try to talk to them about it, they will over you and not let you have a word and

If I only was looking at this site and using their ratings to determine if I would send my kid to this school I would of made the biggest mistake of my life. This school is truly amazing. They focus on all students needs and have some of the coolest ideas to motivate students I've ever seen. The Principal, Dr. Prybil, has made this school one of the best kept secrets in the Quad Cities. I wish all schools could be as great as Washington Elementary.

Dont bother paying the price they have a policy where they dont help potty train the kids. My kids only needed to be told or reminded to use the bathroom before nap time and they wouldnt do it so instead they wanted to put him back in diapers. Because he would make an accident if you didnt tell him to use it. Crazy.

The classes are basic and they add fees for everything. I scheduled a tour and meeting to speak to them about financial assistance. It was 9 am and because my daughter was not sitting there with the biggest smile imaginable they judged her. Didn't give the tour and then he looked at me and told me he had no idea what I was talking about regarding financial aid. It's on their website. He flat out said they're leary about FA, but they clearly offer it on their site. He showed us a schedule and wanted us to have a million questions. If you're going to pay, I suggest QC Christian. My daughter want judged there and had the same shy face that was easily gone by the end of our meeting there. This place, though, horrid.
