still better than kennedale highschool
**EDIT: response to "the owner"**
This school is a life-saver for intelligent kids who need to be taught differently. The teachers are dedicated and the class size is very small.
This school has been great for our daughter. Finally, a place where teachers understand, recognize and know how to teach kids with various learning styles. Our child is now thriving in school.
If the administrators want these students to succeed, they need to raise their expectations and get these kids on par with their peers. Middle schoolers SHOULD understand direct objects. They SHOULD be reading more challenging books than "Where the Red Fern Grows". Come on, they should be reading Steinbeck. Half the students (7th grade and up) I knew were functionally illiterate and still spelling words phonetically, and couldn't even solve for one variable WITH a calculator.
Administration needs to punch up the curriculum. Challenge these kids. Get them where they need to be. If you have to do it differently -- fine. Accommodate your students. Don't disable them.
The academics at this school are incredibly poor. The extracurricular opportunities are superb, but the academic program is just too below par for me to recommend this institution to anyone. For those living east of the school, I'd suggest checking out Winston or Vanguard first. (I graduated from Vanguard.)
Hill School was a terrible experience for me. Considering all the learning troubles these students deal with, one would think that emotional issues would accompany them -- and they did, at least for me. The staff was VERY unsympathetic to my issues. I was constantly blamed for my lack of emotional control. They did nothing to help me resolve it and only made it worse. Also, the teachers are a joke. My history/geography teacher thought the protestant reformation occurred in the eleven hundreds, and I will never forget the day she wrote SPANE (instead of Spain) on the board.
Hill School has been an amazing school for our son. This year will be our 6th year at Hill School and we are so grateful to have found an amazing group of teachers who believe and support their students.
