Hillcrest Elementary School

Think the teachers need more training they cannot keep up with time or remembering things and blaming it on the kids.

The teachers are helpful. They ask for ALOT of money so I would hate to think of the students that don't have the privilege of having parents with money feel. They don't take bulling seriously and just keep them out of recess.

There was a ton of bullying at this school and low academic expectations. So grateful that I was able to move my son out of Morristown. This is a hick, low-intelligence town. Once away from this school, my son never experienced bullying again.

West used to be wonderful when my oldest child was there seven years ago but it has progressively gone downhill. The principal they’ve had for the last 2 or 3 years just doesn’t seem to be one to listen and work with parents. It seems like it must be this way with staff too because everyone has been leaving since he came to the school. They’re only maybe three or four teachers still there that were there when he came. That seems like a problem to me. Also it adds to instability. Stability is something many students from this school lack at home, so they really need it at school. The few staff that stuck around and used to always be so friendly just seems down now. It seems like they have lost their drive under Mr Olson. It breaks my heart seeing how the school has changed and then hearing stories from some of the teachers my children have had that left. This principal really needs to be investigated. I never leave bad reviews but I was thinking about my youngest one starting to West for his last year as a fifth grader and it’s just sad knowing he is not in the happy environment West use to be. I’m sure this review won’t be looked at and won’t accomplish anything, but parents are no longer heard at the school so this honestly just makes me feel better.

Great school with a wonderful God centered vision. Excellent teachers and staff that care for each and every student.
