Summary
Hillcrest School is a public K–5 elementary school with 521 students in Logan, Utah, serving a local community within the Logan City District. The district ranks in the 23rd percentile statewide, but Hillcrest performs better than most nearby schools in the same district, ranking 239th of 563 Utah schools, in the 58th percentile, with three stars. This is an improvement from the 46th percentile in 2023–24.
Hillcrest’s academic results are a relative strength within its district. In the latest results, the school exceeded the district average in every reported grade and subject. Fourth grade was especially strong, with 55.8% proficiency in English language arts, 57.9% in mathematics, and 64.3% in science. Science is the school’s most consistent strength, while mathematics has improved substantially since 2023–24. Hillcrest generally outperformed nearby Ellis School and Bridger School, and was usually stronger than Wilson School and Adams School. However, nearby schools in the Cache District, including River Heights School and North Park School, typically post higher scores. Edith Bowen Laboratory School is an especially high-performing nearby school, though its different structure and student-teacher ratio make it an imperfect comparison.
The clearest concern is attendance: 37.2% of Hillcrest students were chronically absent in 2024–25. That was better than every nearby Logan City school with available data, but well above Utah’s 23.8% rate and the rates at nearby Cache District schools. Hillcrest’s student-teacher ratio was 20.4:1, somewhat higher than at several same-district schools. Overall, Hillcrest appears to be a solid, improving choice, with notable strengths in fourth grade, science, and mathematics. Continued attention to attendance, fifth-grade English language arts, and consistency across grades could help sustain its recent progress.
