DO NOT CHOOSE THIS SCHOOL FOR YOUR KIDS IF YOU WANT THEM TO BE DISCRIMINATED AGAINST. I cannot even fathom holding on to such a stubborn ignorance that one would choose suffering over acceptance. And it is so heartbreaking to witness grown adults judging the fleeting lives of children that they do not even know. Every single person would benefit from learning about how much hate kills. my brother used to go there. Me and my brother had to stay home because of a clown and the left the students there and some got murdered and that's why the schools there is not safe. that's why I move when I was little and we were sick of the teacher not helping my brother. someone threaten him

The best thing about Hempfield is that it offers a wide array of courses at different levels so there is something for everyone. Unfortunately, when it comes to caring about the students, it’s slacking. I’ve seen instances of bullies not being taken care of despite the fact that the school has had a...
