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.

First of all, all the teachers I have had are amazing, they are super helpful, and I can see that they actually care about the students. My counselor is also as great as the teachers, he is always energetic and always answers my questions. I don't think I have any worst experience at my high school. The only thing I would liked to get changed is that I would like to see more teachers teach about ACT, I think the ACT is very important, but it seemed that only the English department had their curriculum designed in a way that took the ACT in consideration.

I enjoy Hastings High. I feel prepared for college and the real world. They hold us to good expectations and offer challenging classes. They put a lot of work in to help us with preparing for college and applying to scholarships. I had a good enough time going to school here and now I'm ready to start another great chapter. Overall, I really enjoy the school and teachers. Many honor students and teachers actually truly care about others here.

Hastings Senior High School is sort of basic. We were super poor so our stuff isn't as nice as could be and they make you use chromebooks and they suck. But we get a lot of freedom as upper class men so that's nice.

Not a good school if you are not popular, if you are a race other than white, & if you need a little extra help with learning.
