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.

Hi, i am a former student at John Hardin Highschool. I believe this school is the most comfortable workspace that you could look foward into a school. This school makes sure everyone is treated well and fair. there is no bullying around this school. its very home like and comfortable.

The best parts of John Hardin are definitely how many opportunities there are and how much the teachers and counselors help and reach out to you. Another good part is how often students at John Hardin get recognized. A bad part about John Hardin is the school spirit. When you go to games, you will usually see few people there unless its like a home football game.

Starting high school I knew absolutely nobody. I remember the night before the first day I cried and couldn't sleep. While that was a bit dramatic, it rang true to my mental and emotional state at the time. Though now as a Senior, I can confidently say that my fears were unfounded. I've made some of the greatest friends ever in an overall loving and accepting environment.

Overall I wish I would have spent my four years elsewhere. North Hardin is fun so I wish I would have either went there or etown. I wouldn't suggest attending John Hardin, the administrators act like it's a better school than it really is. They literally let a boy walk around in black face when seni...
