School Overview

Hillcrest PDS Magnet sits in Waco, a city that's seen a real resurgence in recent years thanks to its growing arts scene, Baylor University's presence, and a downtown that's genuinely come alive. As a professional development school with a magnet focus, Hillcrest offers a slightly different experience than a typical neighborhood campus, attracting families who are intentionally seeking out an alternative approach to learning. Scores land around the middle of the pack statewide, so families who value the school's unique structure and community feel tend to be drawn here as much for the environment as for the academics.
