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.

I hope this doesn't get taken down, but this school does not take SA seriously, so if you get SA'd, it's not worth coming forward. It's a very overpopulated school and the food is BAD. Most teachers are nice. The marching band is AMAZING. Their music, theater, and drama departments are so strong and a big part of this school.

The teachers are either great or horrible, and the student body as a whole is pretty bad. Administrators seem to pick and choose what issues they want to address and what ones to completely ignore - Counseling staff is overloaded with work-lodes. All the good teachers keep leaving. The whole place smells bad, the AC barely works, and the bathrooms are always trashed.

HHS is a very diverse school. Ever since the new principle took charge the school has improved a lot. I enjoyed attending this school.The teachers were very helpful and I grew close to many of them. It is so easy to get meet new people here!
The school admin, staff and teachers are trying! But it's a difficult situation, with too many students and not enough space or teachers. I think the culture of the place will change a lot next year, for the better, when the new school opens and relieves the numbers problem some. In spite of it all,...
As a current student at this school with a brother in the special education class, this school is not the place for students like us. I used to be a straight A student, but the teachers expect you to know everything, the tests can be vague, and the school in general is absolutely crowded. The cafete...
Not a good school at all - this school has 2,200 students and no where near enough teachers or room for all these students. Students are subject to bullying, having excessive and unnecessary school work to complete and teachers who don't even teach but expect students to just know the subjects. Stud...
I mean for most my first year at this school it was pretty normal and fun. But I feel like I'm not being challenged enough educationally. My goal is for the school to find ways to make the work and assignments more intriguing for the students. Cause you have students' asleep mid class, and they don'...
