Hilltop Elementary School

The ratings may be low, but I don't understand why. I've have had a pleasant experience sending my child here. Beyond thankful for all the staff at Hilltop

It was a horrifying nightmare for my child and myself. AACPS should be ashamed of themselves the way they've run this particular school. It's unconscionable how they force parents, based on the area they live in, to have only this place as an option for public learning for their child only to set them up for failed futures when from the administration to the teachers, the learning environment is subpar at best and would be considered down right unacceptable if certain other schools in the same county were being run like this one. We pay taxes for decent educations for our kids. Where they live should not determine the level of quality they're entitled to in education and this is the best you can do??? Shame Shame Shame!! I'd bet dimes to dollars you wouldn't send any of your children to that school and maybe if you were forced do so as some of us who live in the area are, you'd not be so complacent about the severe lack of everything there. Don't believe what I'm saying?...check out the schools overall rating for test scores!

We switched from private school to Hilltop when my child was entering third grade. I think the leadership here is fantastic under Mrs Thomas, the teachers are dedicated, engaged, and committed, and the kids are supported and encouraged.

Terrible !!! Teachers don't seem to have control of the class . Total chaos , I don't know when it became appropriate for students to be able to run around ,leave the room , talk , play and eat in the room . What a a bad environment for students who want to listen and learn.
