WHY CHOOSE US?
Based on their academic results, schools are assigned one of four ratings: turnaround, priority improvement, improvement and performance. A record seven schools in the Five Star District moved out of the priority improvement rating. Additionally, no district school moved into the priority improvement category and the district does not have any schools in turnaround status. Hillcrest Elementary, due to our academic gains, received their highest performance rating ever. Hillcrest has been in Performance for three years!
