What school district is Hillside Elementary School part of?
Principal is great, and teachers are very dedicated. Good kids will learn a lot at this school. Math and science curriculum follows the state standard which is open to individual opinions - I thought the state needs to step up the overall focus on STEM - but that's a whole other thing not in the schools control. My child spent two years at Springville and the last two at hillside. Both schools have great teachers who are invested in the development of their class kids.
