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 have had a pretty good experience at Hutchison high school so far. The majority of the teachers I've had are good. The sports I've tried have been supportive. And while I don't believe the career and technical courses are as great as they tell us I've had a great expirience learning in their Arts Audio Visual program. The worst experience I've had has been just not getting along with some of the students and staff on a personal level. The only things I would change are the academic standards for sports and some of the organization of things. But I would still recommend the school and say that I've had a positive experience.

Hutch is certainly one of the best schools in the area, if not the best. Many teachers are dedicated, hard-working, and patient. The small environment is not for everyone, but was perfect for me. Although this can be a roadblock for students seeking more academically rigorous classes that can be found at the larger schools. It is not without its faults, but I greatly enjoyed my experience here.

Hutchison High school is a Techincal high school, everything about it is amazing. There are trade classes for the students that don't feel that college is for them and the staff is absolutely amazing. I am currently in the Medical field which is building up my medical skills before college. Every single teacher cares about their students and is a great teacher in their subject.

More opportunities for parent involvement ON campus are needed. But overall, this is a very supportive learning environment. The staff is caring and watchful. The career clusters are significant. Let's make sure the budget stays intact for THIS school in particular. Not everyone will go to college,...
