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.

Hunters Lane could be a better school if they have more control of the fights and drugs that's brought in. They need to work on communications with parents about what goes on at the school. Best part is the teachers they really help students get to where they need to go. I would change the principles

Hunters lane isn't the best public school to go to. The courses are average but overall its a bad school. It's been on the news for being one of the most dangerous schools in the county, there are fights almost every other week and the environment is poor.

Working my way through Hunters Lane High School is certainly an experience I will never forget. I made many friends and the teachers were amazing. I learned something new whether it was intended or not. Being a part of the IB program, I was able to experience difficult/loads of work I had never experienced before. But with the work came the mutual relativity between my peers and because of it we were able to get through it all together.

The school's IB and Honor Program is great. The teachers actually care about the students, and the program is a great opportunity for kids to excel. Unfortunately, the overall environment that these kids have to learn in is absolutely horrid. There are way too many kids that don't care about their s...
