GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

The new building is very nice, quality new equipment for everything. The teachers are fairly nice and are willing to work with students through academics. Student life is abundant with afterschool clubs and sports. Events at the school could be planed more as most just feel rushed. Music department is amazing, wonderful vibrant music is always played.

What really makes this school good is the teachers. In my experience I have gotten along well with my teachers. They have been nice and care about the students success.

Some teachers were good at teaching where others were horrible. Not many hands on activities. Always a fight going on between students or students and a teacher.

This school is a joke. They graduate students who are illiterate. They enforce no rules. Teachers have given up, and just accept terrible behavior. 170 teachers out of 500 are leaving the district this year, 30 from this school alone. Your child has no chance of a decent education here. If you are a...

I'm a student that currently attends HHS and from my experience I absolutely hate it. The teachers lack common sense and mainly focus on students that disrupt the class rather than the ones that ACTUALLY want to learn, let's not forget to mention how they lack explaining lectures and provide little...
