Hillside Elementary School
28 Glen Gary Road
Needham, MA 02494
We, in the Hillside community, are mutually proud of our wonderful student body, generous parents, and talented and compassionate staff.

Hillside is an inclusive neighborhood school, kindergarten through fifth grade, in Needham, Massachusetts. Our neighborhood has expanded to include a successful METCO program, a growing ELL (English Language Learners) population, and the Early Learning Center II program for students with special needs in grades three through five. Our student body is a diverse, creative, and energetic group of over 480 students. They certainly make the very most of what we have to offer.

Our parents have been thanklessly supportive by funding a steady stream of creative arts programs and educational technology into our classrooms. The teachers and staff continue to develop and hone the best possible curriculum for our students while being ever mindful of the importance of creating and maintaining a healthy emotional school environment. At Hillside, it is important that all children and adults feel safe. Just as important is that we all -- students, parents, teachers and staff -- respect each other and are treated with that same respect.
