The current administration of this school is not good and there is no school board for oversight…read more While this school has some wonderful teachers, the administration is very toxic. If your child has any special needs such as being gifted, has ADHD, anxiety, or anything else that isn't the norm, they will not thrive here. I do not recommend sending your child here. This school was great many years ago, but is now well below average. Choose another Catholic primary school and avoid this one at all costs.

The fear, confusion and anger that came with our son's learning disability diagnosis 11 years ago…read morehas shifted to acceptance and pride and joy. We enrolled our son at The Hillside School in second grade. He was there for three years then re-enrolled in seventh grade to help pilot the middle school program. The strategies he was taught in reading and writing along with skills in meta-cognition and self-advocacy have successfully supported him through high school and he will graduate in June. He was recently re-evaluated by our local school district in preparation for college admission. While he will always have a learning difference, he has tested out of needing specially designed instruction and hence an IEP. The faculty and staff at The Hillside School have consistently guided us with compassion and respect. Our investment in our son's education in his elementary and middle school years has been worth the time, effort and money put forth. My gratitude for Hillside is deep and wide. We celebrate our son's strengths every day and look forward to a bright future.

If there's one word to describe Ms. Reppert, it's ALPHA -- but if I had to say it in Spanish, it…read morewould be ¡una leyenda viva! (a living legend!). Walking into her class feels like stepping into a fiesta where learning Spanish is just part of the magic. Ms. Reppert doesn't just teach -- she commands the room with the energy of a tormenta (storm) and the precision of a maestra de salsa (salsa master). Every lesson with her is más picante que un jalapeño (spicier than a jalapeño) -- fast-paced, fiery, and impossible not to love. Whether we're conjugating verbs or diving into deep cultural conversations, Ms. Reppert makes sure every student feels seen, heard, and challenged. She leads with confianza (confidence), corazón (heart), and just enough drama to make even grammar exciting! She doesn't just set the bar high -- she builds the whole puente (bridge) to success and dares us to cross it. And trust me, when Ms. Reppert believes in you, you feel like you can bailar flamenco on top of the world. In a world full of teachers, Ms. Reppert is the jefa (boss), the reina del aula (queen of the classroom), and the ultimate ALPHA. Gracias for being a daily inspiration and making Spanish class the best part of my day!

This school is the worst. It should have been a huge red flag from the start when no one seemed to…read morehave answers about enrollment and every person I talked to had a different response. If you have a special needs child, RUN!! These are some of the most incompetent people I've seen in the field. I could write a book about how many regulations they're violating. Have they even heard of IDEA??? Same routine, get passed to various people who all have a different answer. There is no "team" for your child, none of them communicate with each other and our case manager was a joke. They had no clue how to offer proper individualized assistance. Documents were a sloppy "copy and paste" mess and they couldn't even interpret their own evaluations. Aside from that, the classes are way too big and your child will not receive the attention they need, period. Trust me LOOK ELSEWHERE! or homeschool.
