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.

HCHS is a small school, so there is not much diversity and fewer resources than would accompany a larger school in a more urban area, but there is a family-like atmosphere and good opportunity for success. I've enjoyed my time here.

I liked the school being small and not having to deal with problems at other big schools like having two stories, or a butt load of drama and everyone knows everyone which is usually good but sometimes not so good. I would change walking time, mandatory "healthy" eating, and 30-minute time altogether. I don't see a point in any of the above.
