Normal small high school, kids aren't very friendly, teachers are great. Discovery lessons have good intentions, but aren't payed attention to.

They try to discipline and nothing is done about it. Something bad is going to happen soon if administrators do not start disciplining students!!

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...
