A continuation high school is where some students go when they need a little extra attention from the teachers and staff. These students still have a chance to graduate with a diploma, and their parents should still pick the best school for them. In Orange County, many parents would like to hear Hillview High School reviews.

Great Schools provides parents with Hillview High School reviews that will help them understand if this school is right for their teen.
