School Overview

Hillside Elementary sits in San Leandro's working-class east side, a part of Alameda County that's unpretentious and close-knit, with easy access to the broader Bay Area without the sticker shock of neighboring cities. The school faces real academic challenges, particularly in English and science, though its math scores show more promise and suggest there's ground to build on. Families who are deeply embedded in the local community and looking to stay in the neighborhood will find a school that reflects the genuine character of the area, and those with the resources to supplement learning at home may find it a workable fit.
