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.

The best part about this high school would definitely have to be during homecoming weeks were we had scavenger hunt to intense prep rally's and whenever I was in 10th grade and our strict dean was put into a Cinderella dress . Worst would be the amount of vapes and weed kids are involved it at school

What I like about HCHS is that it's a small school so you know most people around here. What I don't really like about it is that some teacher's don't really teach so you see many students failing their Algebra, Algebra II, and Geometry classes. Also I know a couple of students who have been retained for more than 2 years since teachers don't really teach them how to solve problems. They majorly use technology but they don't teach you. Also money isn't really used for books and better teachers. It's used to remodel the cafeteria, buy TV screens, etc. I would also change some staff since some of them can be rude. There was a teacher who didn't like students so she would give them failing grades.

Well considering the fact that the teachers don't do their jobs as they should and my schedule is horrible and thieves are at our school. First off, My English Honors class put grades in the ending of November. Its winter break and she still hasn't gotten grades in. My liberal arts teacher is "ifie"...

Hamilton County High School is a great place to be teaching! Working here is like being part of a big family. The teachers and administration care very much about the students and their families. The expectations for learning are high and most students are eager to learn.

A total mess. Even with new administration. Bullying is out of control, when it is reported it is swept under the rug because the offenders are the "good old boy or girls kids" the middle school girls are the worst. This district will end up in the news for bullying. Teachers struggle with academics...
