I appreciate all your hard work, always involving the kids to do activities and get better at school. Thank you Mr Beemer!! and all teachers that were part of my son's journey and for all the "bad" reviews... remember WE as parents we have a big responsibility at home to support our teachers in the school system. School is not a daycare. is a place to go learn, grow and be better. Education starts at home...

This school is... something else. You try to mind your business, bring a simple bag of chips to…read moregym, and suddenly the entire bleacher section turns into a flock of seagulls begging for snacks like it's a buffet. And when your iPad gets locked for 15 minutes by someone who wasn't even invited to touch it, no one knows anything. So, with nothing to do, you go to the cheerleading mat just to kill time -- and boom -- you get hit with a two-minute lecture comparing gym mats to driving laws, like you were about to cause a highway crash. You'd think walking on a mat meant you're committing a felony. You try to be chill, respectful, even helpful, but that doesn't stop certain people from mocking you for saying something as basic as "Ohhh." Being polite is seen as weakness, being quiet gets twisted, and when you defend someone, suddenly you're being misunderstood like you're the villain. All that while some students walk around with zero manners, asking for food like you're a vending machine with free samples. The cherry on top? There's always that one adult who thinks they're qualified to judge your whole personality after a single interaction -- diagnosing you like it's a clinic. Honestly, it feels like the more respectful you are, the more nonsense comes your way. It's not all bad -- there are a few cool people around -- but overall, it's the kind of environment that tests your patience more than your math quizzes do. Wouldn't recommend unless you're training for a drama degree or just really enjoy chaos sprinkled with confusion and locked iPads.

Hill School is a lovely, balanced, special gem school. I'd think for anyone within a 45-minute…read morecommute (and you'll see more below why I say it), that it's worth checking out. We've lived in Middleburg for 3.5 years, and in that time we've had various touchpoints with Hill School. As a recruiter for 18 years (Microsoft, Viacom, and now Nike & Converse), I'm honed in ability to evaluate people, scenarios, matches and suss out what's what. I know on a tour to listen, but to look elsewhere and absorb everything, student art on the walls, everything, to see as much as possible, and I have a highest bar. As a resident of Middleburg, and having Hill School in our backyard, absorbing everything I see and hear as a local resident too, it just gives me more information and awareness. Here's what I think of Hill School, and know about Hill School, from 3.5 years of absorbing info on the school: -Very extremely pretty setting in Middleburg Virginia, horse country, deer, rolling hills, beautiful campus, special space for art instruction, a very nice front facing playground. -I met a math teacher there once who wore a bow tie that he had special ordered apparently, the actual math equations of his students on it. Passion worn. -Their Latin teacher is lovely. And how cool (and purposeful) to study Latin (+ points on the verbal portion of the SAT most certainly)(myself, I took etymology in high school and what I learned in that class still helps me today)(very cool that Hill School offers Latin - great!). -we've been to 2 of their annual fundraising parties that include people in the community and these parties are amazing. Parents who enroll their children at Hill School will join a community of neat families. -The mayor of Middleburg went to Hill School. The owner of the local popular barre studio went to Hill School. I've met several successful happy balanced alumni from this school. -They have a mentorship program between older kids and younger kids. Hill School children have a demonstrable kindness and helpfulness, fostered by this program. -I met a family with 3 daughters at Hill School, originally from California, with capacity to live anywhere in the country. They set out on a cross country exploration of positive early and middle school education in our country, visiting various schools in various states, (who does that?!), and they moved to Middleburg for Hill School. On a walk the mom shared with me reflections on her 3 daughters, different personalities, and all finding their place at Hill School. -I have a friend who is 45 minutes away from Hill School and they drive in, and also make use of Hill School bus service from Stone Ridge on days they don't drive the full distance, and both of their children are blossoming at Hill School. My friend sees it as totally worth the drive, and further if you compare the tuition at other schools, some upwards of 35-45k, it seriously opens up the topic of balance. Balance isn't just a topic of commute but also of cost and also of the quality of the school. To arrive at such a high-quality school, balanced, lovely, at an affordable price compared with many, I can understand how the commute is worth it to my friend. Cutting to the conclusion, I personally believe that Hill School could be one of the best schools in America, a balanced joyful warm community, with capable devoted faculty in a very pretty setting. For any family not up for hefty tuition, I'd say honestly, what's a drive to lock in a gem school and good fit? Further, there's the bus option, possibility for carpool, and Middleburg is such a special town with a great coffee shop and great restaurants, if you can conduct your work remotely, maybe you even want to consider camping out in Middleburg during the day, working out of the coffee shop, so that your children can go to Hill School? And once you do that, you might fall in love and want to move. Could seriously happen. My suggestion would be to call to schedule a tour, and I believe that their Admissions Director Kelly Johnson is a gifted director who can discern fit, coupled with their school counselor Kasia Daum who has joy dancing in her eyes, those two professionals will know if the fit is there, and when your children thrive you'll know too. I personally think almost any child would be lucky to attend Hill School and that it could be an optimal environment for many children. Tuition rates at so many private schools have sky rocketed and created imbalance and stressors for families, making a commute feel, comparatively, easy breezy. What I would encourage is at least commute for the tour and see what happens with your heart. Lunch at Thaiverse would be a sound pairing. And be sure to request a visit to the building where art is made. 2 thumbs up for Hill School.

I expected more kindness and understanding, but instead, there was a lot of favoritism and unfairness. On top of that, there were several situations where I felt like they handled things really poorly, and that just made me hate going to school even more. The teachers didn't make it any easier either. For example, I told them a whole month in advance that I'd be gone for vacation during the last week of school, but they still said I'd get zeros on assignments I missed. That felt super unfair and like they didn't really care about what the students were going through. It was frustrating because I wanted to do well and be treated fairly, but that just didn't happen. After dealing with all of this for a year and a half, I knew I couldn't stay there anymore. It was disappointing because I really hoped for a positive and supportive environment, but it ended up being the opposite. Looking back, I wish things had been different because no one should have to go through that kind of experience at school. I wouldn't recommend this school to anyone.
