My child started K5 at Hillview Elementary. This school is horrible! My experience is that teachers and faculty aren't warm friendly people. They don't smile, they don't speak, they look like they don't want to be there. I've walked the hallways and heard teachers yelling at children....just goin off. I hated leaving my child there everyday . When my child started 1st grade I was determined that he would not go back to Hillview. I put him in private school and he's been thriving ever since!
