School Reviews
5 10/28/2024
I highly recommend HCA to all parents in San Mateo County. This school though small and went through challenges during and after the pandemic, withstood the test and because of academic excellence, and dedication by teachers, aides, staff, and parents was granted/renewed accreditation by ACSI. The students are happy, safe, and thriving. The teacher-student ratio is 2:1 compared to 22:1 in other schools or public elementary schools. The children are well-behaved and respectful.
Endorse Hillside Christian Academy. Endorsements should be a few sentences in length. Please include any comments on:
- Quality of academic programs, teachers, and facilities
- Availability of music, art, sports and other extracurricular activities
- Academic or athletic awards
