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.

it wasn't a horrible high school. however, the kids there are very hit and miss. some kids are very sweet and other kids are INCREDIBLY racist, homophobic, transphobic, etc. the teachers for the most part are ok, and there are some that are amazing. strong in academics, and the resources are there if you need them. as for diversity, it is a HUGELY white-dominated school but there are pockets of BIPOC people along with LGBTQ+ people. i personally had a lukewarm experience, but many different people will tell you different things; after all, this is high school ffs. football team is horrible, but the cheerleading, volleyball, rifle, and other teams are doing pretty well

I enjoy hempfield high school as a student because the teacher help you when you need it. The students are great, respectful, helpful, kind. The class choices that are there is great for everyone, ranging from art classes to music classes to business classes. The principals and management team is there to help you for any questions or anything you need during your time at hempfield.

No thanks...home school and private school are both better options. The 9th grade principal did nothing to help my daughter....

Hempfield Area Senior Highschool is the worst school. I was bullied there by football players and they never got in trouble. They ruined my highschool for me and I was held back for no reason. They teachers are awful. Do not go to this school!
