I am a 7th grader and I attend this school, and its probably my favorite school Ive ever been to. The staff is always friendly and the food is high quality. The janitors make an effort to keep this school clean and tidy. The principle sets her priorities straight, and makes sure the campus is safe from any threats. And the F.L.A.G.S. (Foreign Language and Global Studies) program is a fun and engaging way to help your kids learn languages. They offer tutoring every Tuesday, and make sure students get the best grades they can. I would highly recommend this school, for its great (and enjoyable!) way of educating.

One star. It seems to be problems with the administration. The principal needs to take responsibility when needed. There was no accountability shown to us by her. We just want the best education for our child. Also, the school is filthy, dirt and filth, and spider webs coat the entire campus. Drinking fountains are full of dirt.

Also, our school has a new developing Orchestra.

This school is a horrible choice! My daughter was blamed to be smoking pot in the bathrooms twice this year. I highly recommend you don't put your child through this school. This school has a bunch of pot heads and horrible teachers.

One of the best schools I have attended, the teachers are nice but strict and the principal is an amazing leader.

Hilltop middle is a great school! The FLAGS program recently got iPads to use in class. The IPads have apps separately for each class and they keep students up to date with technology!
