GreatSchools Rating
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 moved to Hennessey freshman year and was immediately welcomed and accepted by most students and all teachers, which was a huge deal to a scared 14-year-old. Genuinely, I found some of the best teachers at this school, and I was inspired to follow in their footsteps while putting my own spin on my future.

Hennessey High School has had its ups and down within the four years I have been enrolled at this school. Some teachers are passionate, others.. not quite. This school has a high focus on sports rather than education. Luckily there are dedicated teachers who push students to succeed in the classroom.

My overall experience was great for me. My younger brother and I never attended another school, but my two older siblings did and Hennessey was a much better experience for them as well. It is a small town but the support from PTA was huge in every club. I remember using tutoring resources and attending various extracurricular activities.
