My 2 kids have been students at this school for four years now. The teachers and staff are excellent, the environment is positive, and the education goes beyond academics. The school promotes strong common-sense values and encourages students to appreciate the opportunities they have in this country. I say this as a legal immigrant who proudly became a U.S. citizen here. Parents who want their children to build solid foundations and have the best chance to thrive in life will appreciate what this school offers. It provides quality education for families who may not necessarily want--or be able--to send their children to expensive private schools. In our experience, the administration and teachers truly care about the students' growth, both academically and personally. We are very grateful that our two children had the opportunity to spend several important school years here. I strongly recommend Hillcrest in Lake Wales. I am surprised to read a 1 star review by Geogre (George?) who mention he got a virus from food there. I guess that is a young student who wrote this, so i am not sure his review is 1/ objective and 2/ relevant. I would not take it into consideration, based on my own & kids' experience. read more
