School Overview

Hillside Elementary sits in the foothills community outside Madera, serving families in one of California's more rural, tight-knit corners of the San Joaquin Valley. The school lands solidly in the middle of the pack statewide, with particularly strong science scores that reflect a hands-on approach to learning — a good fit for curious kids who thrive in smaller school environments.
