I'm a student here. If you're a minority student, I'd say to be wary going here. I'm lgbt, and I've been harassed and bullied by students, some of which run down the halls screaming, and others of which simply punch people in the stomach. These students are rarely punished. Most of the teachers are polite, and the range of activities is okay, but there's much to be desired.

Being predominantly an art and writing student, I valued the Art Club, the News Magazine and the Literary Magazine. They were top quality clubs, run by the better teachers at the school.

My grandaughter is a special needs child and I really don't feel Halifax Schools are doing right by her. She is going to second grade next year and she hasn't done what is required of first grade. I don't want her lost in the school system for the next twelve years.

As a former student, Halifax is certainly a town where politics dominates both academically and athletically. Also, some teachers, especially in the HS, cannot teach and compensate by giving pointless projects and absurdly easy tests (even at honors level). Almost all teachers have too many classes...
