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

My overall experience at Halifax Area High School was an average high school experience for most. Yes, I had some low points throughout high school but most students do. But Halifax was a good school for helping build character, but it lacked helping me prepare myself for my future in many ways.

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.

Seniors WILL get their diploma no matter how little work they do - teachers don't have a say in that poli...

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...
