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.

this is a small school that involves all students. if you want to be a part of a group or activity, you just have to become involved. there are lots of options. the teachers are dedicated and want to help students succeed.

This school is a very average school. I would love to see more diversity within the school. The one thing that makes me keep going back to the school are the teachers, especially my history teachers. They give me motivation to get up in the morning. My history teachers are the reason I want to be a Historian just like them.

The school is terrible!! The environment is so negative and drugs abuse is a real issue here. The new change in administraton has not changed a thing. Instead of fixing the issues they have made them worst. The school was bias towards its athletes already, the administration is just making it worst. Students who are athletes can get away with everything! The only thing that makes this a 2 star is the outstanding band and musical program. Other then that DO NOT ATTEND HOOSAC!!!

This school has some amazing teachers but there isn't enough good teachers to justify it. I have had many bad experiences with this place. I have had teachers who were bullies and just rude. There is lots of favoritism in the sporty people and the "popular kids". The school tells everyone that they...

Just judging the general illiteracy of the comments I know this school has failed in its mission.
