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 am a graduate of HDCS, I attended from kindergarten through graduation. Today I have an AA, BS, MS, MBA, and PhD. HDCS prepares those who are motivated to succeed. You will get out of your education what you put into it. Socially the school is top notch. Sports are available and fun. I highly recommend this springboard to success.

As soon as you walk in the doors you have a safe, fun, relaxed etc. feeling. I know all the staff put 110% into their jobs. And thank you for that.
