HHS is a great school if you are willing to learn. The admin is a little strict about rules but little things like dress code are not always enforced depending on the staff member. The food is just okay. There are lots of resources avaliable to students like tutoring, and I find a lot of teachers are willing to work with you before or after school if you need help with something or need to make up a quiz or test.

Overall the experience has been great. I wish it was more diverse so we can all learn from the different cultures.

Overall, I would say that my experience at Hickory High School has been very poor. I feel that this is mostly due to the faculty and administration. Every year, they crack down harder and harder on simple things, such as phones in the hallway, but ignore larger issues, such as teachers treating stud...

The administration cares very little about students as a whole but there are a specific few groups that they like. The specific groups of students often get away with vaping in the school and being blatantly racist to peers. The administration also cares very little about the quality of their school...

This school is the closest thing to a dictatorship you will be able to find in the United States. From what my son describes the school is essentially a prison with no culturural diversity, the student body is extremely racist and hateful to minority races, and it has become so normalized in this sc...
