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 think that this a wonderful school to go to but some of the students ruin the experience because of their behavioral problems. I also wish that this school was a little bigger because having the lunch and the gym be the same things isn't really good.

My experience with Hansberry college prep has been very becoming. I have been here since my freshman year although I've struggled that year because of Covid-19 the administration and environment there have helped me through that.

its more so not as entertaining as it could be meaning like my highschool experience could of been better, I feel as though they were too stuck on upon being strict and enforcing rules that they didn't realize what how they were affecting us. They could have done way better with the food selections it felt as though the food was unhealthy for men to refuel and do my best for the remainder of my day.
