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.

At half hollow east it's very easy to see that the money invested in the school is well spent on the students future. though the school is not diverse at all in my opinion, and there have been a lot of racial incidents I do still think that academically it is an amazing School

There are some teachers that have no idea what they're doing. Or they are just not that bright. Makes me wonder who they knew to have gotten the job. There are other teachers that are excellent! They are hard working and very compassionate.

My high school experience overall was great. I made great friends throughout each year there and had much social interaction through many of the clubs they offer. The school is very productive towards community service and I enjoyed volunteering for many causes through the schools community service offers. It has a great faculty and majority of the teachers genuinely care for the students understanding of curriculum. It has provided a great base to be ready for college and it was overall an amazing experience to be in this high school.
