School Overview

Hillcrest sits in the Montclair hills of Oakland, a neighborhood that feels almost suburban with its tree-lined streets and local village shops, yet still carries that genuine East Bay energy. The school consistently performs among the top in Oakland Unified, making it a strong draw for families who want a public school option without leaving the city — particularly those who value strong English and science outcomes alongside a tight-knit community feel. It's the kind of place where neighbors tend to stay for the long haul, and the school is a big part of why.
