My experience at Hazelwood Central was extremely memorable. Like most schools there are some amazing teachers. However, like most schools there are some not so amazing teachers. The schools offers a plethora of extra curricular activities to meet the interests of all students and I would consider the facilities above average. HCHS is a school I personally would not mind sending my own kids to as I believe one can get out of the experience as much as they put into it.

It's not a bad school for a Public one, just not enough resources and too much unnecessary work. Also the safety and environment isn't the greatest, but they are I guess trying to make a tolerable learning

Years ago, students were able to eat outside, walk outside to cut through the hallways...

Hazelwood has apparently gone to you know where in a hand basket looking at the past reviews. These poor kids have nothing to look forward to, no incentive to do right. So, they run amuck. Don't do it, do NOT enroll your kids in Hazelhood.
