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.

Mediocre school. Sports are really bad. Can get good teachers. Some great opportunities. Needs improvement though.

This school has a diverse set of students. We have many assemblies. We have bathrooms that need to close due to students doing things like drugs in them. The football team gets a lot of funding but doesn't win, while the art and music department has a hard time getting supplies. But our principle is awesome and so are some of the teachers.

The best part of Hampshire high school I would say is that the school has for the most part; teachers that want to see students succeed. I feel like they do a good job at being involved and also putting in the efforts to help students really achieve success.

This high school is a fairly new facility, looks great, and has room to accommodate the ever growing community. However the main office staff leaves much to be desired. Most of the teaching staff is spot on and driven to helping students be prepared for college. From the moment a freshman walks in t...
