Hillside Elementary School consistently outperforms the state and district averages in PSSA (Pennsylvania System of School Assessment) test scores, with 80.9% proficiency in Math and 84.4% in English Language Arts, compared to the state averages of 41.7% and 48.5%, respectively. The school's 4th-grade PSSA proficiency rates are particularly impressive, with 90.4% in English Language Arts and 80% in Math, significantly higher than the state and district averages. Hillside's performance on the PSSA Science assessment is also noteworthy, with 97.9% of students scoring proficient or better, compared to the state average of 65.8%.

While Hillside Elementary School's strong academic performance may be influenced by the socioeconomic status of its student population, which is generally more affluent compared to some nearby schools, the school's high per-student spending and low student-to-teacher ratio indicate a significant investment in educational resources. In comparison, some nearby schools, such as Schuylkill Elementary and Roberts Elementary, have lower per-student spending levels and serve a higher percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, which could impact their academic performance.
