This School’s Reviews

3.0 Senior

4/7/2025

The school has a overall poor reputation and poor standards for students. Leaving them not prepared for classes and not properly taught how to survive in the real world. Many of the teachers are unprofessional or poor at teaching their specific subjects. It would be nice to see better care for the students. Teaching them about real world finances and how to do things like taxes, resumes, ect.

High school for me was pretty enjoyable, my only real complaint is that all of our teachers had a lack of communication. Lots of teachers wouldnt know about stuff till the day of and some would know and didnt tell others and that was a hot mess.

I am currently a junior at HCHS and I am disappointed in this school. While it goes without saying that we are in the countryside and that we are already in an area of low expectations, the experiences at the school on a day to day basis are shocking. The students as a whole do not care about their...
