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.

My overall experience at HHS was something I can never forget. I enjoyed all the years I spent there in my educational career. The best part had to be there people there, without a down I was surrounded with the upmost support. Everyone there had a goal in mind and would always strive for greatness.

This school is one which allows kids to grow in their own ways. However, the environment of the school is difficult, challenging, and competitive.

Monumental disappointment. I guess the academics are okay, rigorous and all but that's it. If you've got a smart kid who wants to really get the most out of high school - explore your options.

The worst experience ever. Couldn't tell you if it is just our children's culture today or the school staff and administration but If you think you are preparing your child for college by enrolling him into the IB program at this school you have another thing coming.
