The school curriculum is decent, but the staff is very unorganized. They even let me check my son out early without checking my ID, which I am not okay with. Parent pickup is beyond awful every day, as there is no order. I fear that a child is going to get hurt or kidnapped because no one seems to be watching them at all!

We currently have 1 student who is in their 5th year and another in their 2nd year at Star Hill. As noted, the area isn't super nice, however overall, the school is very good. GREAT parental involvement & activites. Some teachers are Super, and others are just okay. I would recomend this school to anyone moving to the area! Overall: I would give this school a 3.5 - 4.0 on a 5 point scale. (but my family has had some difficulties this year) (Last year, would have been 4.5 - 5.0.)

This school is the best school for any child to attend. The teachers are very attentive to their students and the principal learns all the children's names. And he will call if necessary himself even before the teacher sometimes. They care about the students and their well being and making sure that the students excel.

Star Hill Elementary is part of the CR school district. My son transferred to this school when he was in 4th grade, so only attended for 2 years, but my daughter is currently a 4th grader. Don't let the area scare you away, this school is fantastic. The teachers are wonderful and so very caring. My son is going to high school and it is great that when he attends his sisters events at Star Hill that the teachers still know his name and chat with him about his current interests! The curriculum is spot on and it is a Blue Ribbon School

  • Recommendations: Postlethwaite Middle School
  • What did you like? The teachers are fantastic and the office staff is very helpful.
  • What did you dislike? My only concern is the area surrounding the school.
