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.
The Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

Hawthorne is a school full great staff and even better students. I have only been here for 4 months yet, I have noticed how friendly and bright everyone is. The only issue in Hawthorne is the lack of educational and extracurricular activities due to lack of funds. This problem goes for the food too. In my experience, schools that surrounding areas considered unsavory to be at is mainly due to a lack of opportunity to thrive. Overall, Hawthorne is just an enjoyable experience as a school.

It's a nice school. Getting better with the new principal, however it is also now looking a bit like a prison. I do know that they're doing this to make it more secure and safer for the students but it also isn't appealing and may drive new potential students away.

My personal experience at Hawthorne high school is very positive. I transferred from a huge populated high school to a low populated school which is Hawthorne and by doing this i was able to focus more.There are many programs such as C.R.O.P,and Talent Search at Hawthorne that help students choose what path they want to take on to succeed with their educational profession. I participate in both clubs and play for the Hawthorne girls basketball team and i grew close to my team. We were underrated until we won the next district championship since 2013. It was a great achievement.At Hawthorne everyone treats each other like family.The teachers are very encouraging and are very resourceful.
Both of my children attended this school, both middle and high. The school has a small town vibe to it and the staff seems to know most of the students. Like any school it has its issues but you can see that the principal and staff are working hard to improve the school. They have a student/teacher...
This is a multiple generation community and the schools have the feel of a family. That gives me extra comfort along with the academic opportunities through magnet programs, AP classes and dual enrollment being available as well!
Our family's experience has been a nightmare. This is our community. We love the people that live here and would never have believed what has gone on. Bullying purposefully not documented, medications never being administered or documented, and being told in a recent follow up meeting all of my stud...
There are pros and cons to this school. Pros would be the staff are over all nice and the lunch is free. But the cons have more of over powering effect. The cons of this school are; Many to most of the student show no respect to the school leaving it a filthy and disgusting place. there has been ins...
