There's no technology classes, not many science classes, and any most classes lack proper equipment or just any at all. The fune hood is broken in chemistry. Projectors and air conditioning are always finicky. Teachers complain about waiting forever for work orders.

Hanford high in all honesty is a mixed bag of emotions and results. Academically it's great, the teachers are great minus a few overly strict ones. The restrooms are consistently dirty but that's due to the students. There are a number of fights that occur throughout the year but in truth there's nothing the staff can do.

Hanford high is mostly known for their academics. But they have more to offer with sports ranging from golf and tennis to football and soccer. They even have a bunch of clubs (drama, multicultural, lgbtq+, etc...).
