Hillcrest Elementary School

MSR provides a comprehensive and broad based education for our middle-elementary student. She has tested several grade levels above her age, which I attribute to the personal attention, excellent curriculum, and comfortable atmosphere MSR provides it's pupils.

If you are a parent looking for a healthy environment to send your children to, this is not the place. In order to be “popular” or for your child to be loved, you have to commit to the school 110%, constantly helping with fundraisers and befriending everybody you meet. If you are a parent who did not graduate from Cedar Creek or grow up in the area, it’s going to take an arm and a leg for your child to be appreciated here. If your child isn’t naturally extremely smart or athletic, they are going to be bullied, and if they are and you tell staff, they are most likely in on the bullying too. Staff members pick favorites who happen to be the bullies who victimize themselves. If you are being bullied, you are most likely going to be called a liar if you tell an adult. The entire school is a social hierarchy with two categories: “weird kids” who come from difficult home lives, and the rich privileged athletes whose parents who have bought their way into everything for their child to succeed. If you transfer schools at any age above the third grade, the cliques of students are already formed by children who are unwelcoming and you will be pushed down into the bottom of the social classes. There is a reason this school has lawsuits filed against them. The public schools in this area are amazing. Don’t waste eight thousand dollars on a school full of upper-class children and parents who gossip about new families.(written by a former “weird kid”)
