I would say the worst parts of Hampden Academy lie within the students. There's a lot of really out of pocket events that have happened in all the years I've attended. But, what's good is that the administration always finds a way to resolve the issue. I'm also extremely grateful for the classes I'm able to take and the opportunities that come with them.

Good school focused on academics and college prep. Needs to work on teaching staff and who they employ on the character scale. Decent sports, bad food, normal high school experience.
