Hillcrest Jr High in Murray has been a great school. The principal does an excellent job creating a positive and well-run school environment, and the teachers truly care about their students and work hard to help them succeed. The staff is supportive, the communication with families is great, and it
Posted by a parent on 3/7/2026My son has thrived in this school. He’s had a great learning experience and has support from his teachers. I feel informed and involved in his education. He has great friends and lots of opportunities for growth.
Posted by a parent on 3/6/2026I cannot say enough good things about Hillcrest Jr High School in Murray. All five of my children have had a very positive experience at this school. My youngest daughter is currently a student. They have a great faculty and exceptional administrative team. Here are some of my favorite things about
Posted by a parent on 3/6/2026I went to this school and I was incredibly miserable. They do nothing about their bullying problem and I would BEG my mom to let me stay home everyday. I didn't fail because I didn't try, I failed because I never got any support. There's maybe 4 teachers that care about their students, and majority
Posted by a community member on 2/20/2026Incredibly disappointed with Hillcrest and how they handle the vaping epidemic in the school. They claim they are one of the only Jr Highs with vape sensors in the bathrooms- to help the problem. Yet, they know exactly what kids are vaping and who is selling IN THE SCHOOL- they do nothing about it.T

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis is no more a "school" thab sending your kids to a friendly neighbors' house that dabbles in art and gardening and such. In that respect, kids and families that have no aptitute or interest in scholarship or success are very much at home.My son was forced there by his mom at a young age and it made a big impression. He's struggled wirh self discipline, and is years behind other kids. I once asked the staff when kids would learn to read at thia school. They said some kids dont even try till they are 12 or older. That isn't helping anyone in life...Giving kids no foundation that understanding their world and cirtical thinking will ehlp them is crazy. This scholl will definitely preapre your kids to live at home wirh the parents taking care of them at 40+ I consider thia plwce to hwve been thr single biggest mistake my sons mom has ever made in the raising of our son. But whatever, we need McDonald's eorkers and babysitters in America. Its just not anything i want for my kid.Parent Review3y ago - Learning Tree East
