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.
The Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

I have enjoyed my time at Hempstead High school and feel prepared for college. I am looking forward to my senior year and continuing my dual credit classes so that I am already ahead going into college. I am also hoping to further narrow down my future major options this upcoming school year.

At Hempstead I was offered many new opportunities and was given experiences that were not in middle school.

I loved the school and the education that I was provided. The teachers were always so helpful and encouraged me to further my learning, and be involved in and outside of the classroom. They supported me in all of my endeavors and helped me on my path for my future including preparing me for college. I couldn't have asked for a better experience for high school and will definitely cherish all of my memories that I made.
