Hillside Elementary School

We have had lots of great teachers here, with the exception of one or two. It is concerning that the school is losing quite a few teachers this year and some are being moved around against their will. The principal that is making the decision to move teachers is leaving this year anyway. The moral of teachers here seems to be getting lower. If you have a student with an IEP, you will need to keep a close watch on whether or not those modifications are being implemented by teachers and the school. We also know student growth is not up to par as stated. That is the biggest concern.

Personally we have been in this school district for many years I have never felt so unsafe leaving my children in the schools here but this one I have. I feel very unwelcomed along with the fact that I feel the parents are the same. I would very much like to move into the district of the old school in which my children attended. I have a child who has issues with Females as well as takes a while to warm up to people I feel its okay to push students to strive this child they never did thier research on and can and will begin to regress I would love to move forward rather than backwards at this point. Thanks but no thanks this school is not for me and more children let alone if thier old school is unable to accomedate them I will be pulling them out and placing them in private school where they seem to atleast listen. I will also say that is sad when you enter into a school and ask do you have a teacher who might be in my childs grade that would have a ESL PPCD or any type of special education background and the reply is I dont know. Pretty Sad

We have attended three different elementary schools in AISD and Sleepy Hollow is hands down the best! My son has grown so much because of the amazing administration support, the culture built for inclusion, and the caring/supporting teachers.

Great school - some of the parents seem a little proud to the point of being stuffy (why, I don't know - it's a middle class neighborhood), but most of the folks are good people who care about their kids. Kids are respectful and very smart because of parent involvement at home. School events are safe, well organized and controlled but fun for the kids. Rules are strict but once learned the kids are rewarded and encouraged to learn. The surrounding area is one of the best in town for a middle income family. It's safe and has consistently nice, well cared for homes. I've seen the school systems of four different states and I can say this school is a model American elementary school. Any parent would be proud to send their children there.
