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.

It's very good, just could use better staff. It can also use better students that are not annoying. Some good teachers are Byrd, Curylo, Ragano/Denning, O'Sullivan, Bing, Watson, etc.

I went to Hinson Middle school for all three years of my middle school career and I had a wonderful experience. The teachers, the music program, the clubs, everything was how it was supposed to be.

The teachers here are the meanest most disrespectful, unkind people i have ever come across! Alot of angry, rude, violent students as well. So no chance for the honest well behaved student, definitely would never recommend this school if you care about your child

Hinson is a very bad school. My child went there for 2024-2025, and i am very dissatisfied and disappointed with the effort the teachers put in. The ONLY good teacher there was the band teacher.. i do not recommend this school to children with kind hearts.
