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 loved my time at HHS, I was very involved and I think that's the key to a good High school experience. I was involved in Peer Helpers, JCO, SCO, cheerleading, and other small clubs. The academic opportunities are outstanding. There are great programs that can get you a head start in you career like the Business Program or Nursing program at RC3.

I had a great experience at Hoover! I was very well prepared for college and was admitted to a prestigious college. My AP classes gave me a lot of college credits and will allow me to graduate college early. I had incredible teachers and still stay in touch with many of them.
