I love this school mainly because this school has people you'll never really see in other places but also this school is pretty small. This school teaches you how to be yourself and how to build yourself as a person and shape you for the real world

I like the small class sizes at Houston County High School. You are able to receive one on one assistance when needed; however, due to the low number of students, I do not believe that the school does a good job with choices for classes. During my entire high school career, there have only ever been offered two elective classes each year; and, usually the students are selected for one elective class for half a year and the only other elective class the second half of the year.

HCHS has a small attendance of students, many of which you might consider are of a disadvantage. As such, my student has had their locker broken into, clothing has been stolen, books, binders, pens, pencils... stolen! There are no lockers in the gym and the athletes have to leave their personal belo...

I think that all of the people who say this is a great school must work there. I have children at this school, they are picked on, ridiculed, and made fun of by staff at this school, I wish that I could afford to move back home to Florida, schools there are great.
