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.

While Hiram is an amazing school with it having amazing teachers and faculty it does need more extracurricular options and some classes shouldn't be locked away from HACS (Hiram Academy of Computer Science) and same goes for other students trying to get HACS only classes.

Hiram High School is most definitely what I would call a small school. At some point you will have seen every single person by the time you graduate. Or at least that's what I think. Our school has so much potential to be great not only through the leaders but also the people that attend. Hiram is located in the suburbs but the culture of the people is constantly trying to fit in instead of seeing the value of our individual selves and the uniqueness in it. If the people in my school could realize that we would be in a different position. Despite that I have enjoyed creating bonds with teachers who cater to us students. I have met some great people who most definitely have every capability to be great in life and teach me something new everyday.
