Hillview uses an organizational structure called the Academy Model that groups students and teachers into smaller learning communities in order to provide greater attention to individual student needs and to develop a sense of community within a smaller group of students who share the same academic teachers. Each academy has approximately 100 students. Students may or may not have their academy/grade-level math teacher as that is dependent upon the student's math course.
