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.

Teachers are very partial and rude. Please be extra cautious with this school especially if your child has an IEP. Your child will be treated bad if they are different and this school is not at all inclusive. Do yourself favor and please stay away from this school and school district.

There is a reason this district is highly sought when people are looking to purchase a home. It is because of the great schools and HGES is one of them.

My child has learned far more than we ever could have expected, and has been well-supported socially and emotionally. His teachers have shown great care for him, and his neurodiversity has been accommodated. We love this school and cannot imagine sending our children anywhere else.
