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.

I had an overall good experience in high school. I do feel like my senior counselor makes it hard to reach out and ask questions about college, but other than that it was a decent school.

Over the last 4 years, it's been a lot of fun going to central Hardin. Some of the best experiences came from teachers, either doing their job normally, or going above and beyond to make learning fun. However some of the worst experiences came from staff and administration, from being inexperienced or not being fit properly for the job.

My worst experience was when my guidance counselor wanted many people to quit band and do a class that many people didn't need for college. Also she augured with me about taking AP Calculus (a really hard class) to taking digital literacy (an unimportant class). She pressures a lot of mu peers into doing things that will benefit her and not themselves. The best experience I had was with my band teacher. He was the best person ever (even though other people didn't think so) and he really cared about our success and pushed us to our limits.
