Hillside Elementary School Reviews

 
I relocated to Montclair from Atlanta and was quite worried about which school to place my daughter but I chose Hillside because of its Arts concentration. I am so pleased with the administration and staff at Hillside.They're caring, attentive, friendly and really want to address each child's needs. My daughter loves it and doesn't even think about her old school in Atlanta anymore.

Have had several kids at Hillside. The arts and music are terrific, as are the special programming for advanced language arts and math. Basic academic were OK - too much focus on bringing up the bottom third to manage test scores. Overall a good experience but stay engaged!

A pretty committed staff that is sometimes overwhelmed by the number and variety of students. Two basics teachers helps give proper emphasis to math and science along with language arts. Some great elective courses for qualified students. Terrific orchestra and drum corps.

My son joined Hillside in the 4th grade. It begins in 3rd grade and I was concerned that the size of the school would be a detriment to him. He has thrived there. The teachers are exceptional, the art and drama and music courses are the best in the district. I think that the leadership of the school is not up to par with the other schools and the test scores were not exceptional.

Wonderful assortment of electives, but core classes and requirements such as foreign language, music and phys ed ultimately restrict choices. Nonetheless, my son is thoroughly enjoying 'Causes of the Civil War' and 'NASA' among other electives.

Hillside School offers excellent facilities, however for a Gifted & Talented Magnet School, Hillside does a poor job supporting a truly gifted child with low self-esteem in developing true friendships.
