Hickory High School had some lovely teachers, however, the school has a very severe bullying issue towards marginalized students. Staff are occasionally helpful, but typically not.

Hickory High School has fostered many academic opportunities, friendships, and career interests within me.

4.0 Senior

11/28/2024

Great school academically and safety wise. Most teachers I have had are great and there are barely any fights or dangerous situations. Sports are good as well. Great atmosphere at football games and good school spirit. Though If you're looking for diversity, this is not the school for you. It is located in a fringe-rural area so not very culturally diverse.

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...
