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 believe that Hampden Charter School of Science is a solid college preparatory school that encourages students to use their minds well and to care for themselves and others. Teachers push students to their highest potential to prepare them for the real-world.

I was a student at HCSS since 6th grade up until graduation. It was the best experience and I am proud to have been a student there.

I like how they are involved with college readiness. Overall, I did not get the "high school experince" because the lack of effort from administration when it came to planning non-educational activities.
Teachers are very supportive. Available for extra help if needed. This was a challenging year with virtual school but the teachers were great they kept the students involved and motivated. They offer many AP courses.
