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 think the teachers are great at their job. They care about the students and seem knowledgeable in the subjects they teach. The counselors could use some work. They seem to be annoyed when asked to do their job.

The best part of Havelock high school is the amount of things you can do. Even if you aren't the best at a sport or a certain club you will still be able to play if you're passionate enough and work hard and try your best. Coaches also are very good at working around schedules if you're playing multiple sports or have multiple clubs and after school activities. My least favorite part is the not so great teachers all the time. We have a great need for teachers that sometimes gets filled with people who are ill fit for the job.

Throughout my 4 years of high school, I'd honestly enjoy my time there. I never had many friends but I was sort of known around. Some teachers are very comforting and they make you feel safe or at home. You just have to find the right one to matches your vibe ( everyone doesn't need to have the same "favorite" teacher).

This school has the absolute worst staff for after school events. They treat families extremely poorly & are not a community. Very sad and depressing atmosphere.

My son just stated attending this school. His first day he was in the guidence councilors office so he was obviously late to class in order to get his schedule. School starts at 7:30am we were told to have him at the school at 8am. Why not bring him in at 7am? His first class was Physical Education....

One of the best public high schools in eastern NC. Currently 10 AP courses are taught on campus with more available on-line. Good students excel here and some have gone on to great colleges such as UNC, Duke, and the Military Academies. Numerous athletic and Academic scholarships have been awarded t...
