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 is an alright school it is not the safest place because of the violent and the more gang feeling you get when going to school there. The teachers are okay they are not the best but not the worse expect for some that just straight don't teach.

Haltom High School suffers from feckless leadership. The new Principal has caused the moral of the teachers to plummet to an all time low. Great teachers continue to seek employment elsewhere. He is changing Haltom High into an inner city school. We once has a very strong Advanced Academics program,...

My child is a recent graduate of Haltom High. She currently attends UT Austin with plans for law school after that. The AP classes provided the challenging curriculum that she needed. Discipline is an important component of this school and I like that. I think the diversity of this school is its big...
