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 was a student teacher here. It is amazing that some of these teacher's do not know the basics of the subject they are teaching, but are still able to keep a job.

The school is extremely well run. Sports programs are legit. The kids love their teachers and their after school activities.

Amazing teachers and administration. They work hard with each individual student in mind. The school is very organized and now with Covid, the hard work and organization really shows. My son loves the exploratory classes that are offered and is challenged in honors classes. He also really likes the autonomy that they offer to the students.

HB has been a great experience!!! Mr Bastinelli is very involved in all aspects of the school. Teaches are very engaging, supportive yet set high expectation and student accountability. HB offers several activities and clubs for students to try. PTA sponsors fall dances. HB is top notch!!!
