going to Hickory Ridge for the past four years , I definitely can say that I've learned a lot about myself and it has let me grow and help understand what will be happening in the real world

My experience has been good at Hickory Ridge overall. The best parts for me is when needing help. The teachers and my counselor were really helpful. A bad part was having a short lunch. Another bad part was hearing about fights that happened. First I would like to see my school do more to prevent fights. Second to have longer lunches. Third to have better communication between the parents and faculty members.
