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 teachers and staff at this school are amazing! Each teacher had something to offer to the students. I felt safe at HSC and created great bonds with my fellow school mates.

I am a senior at High school in the community and I have been here for now 4 years. Hsc is a very different school compare to a lot of other New Haven school. We have less than 300 students and it is a very close school. We go on a first name basis which helps us make more personal connections with our teachers. We have very good classes and many extra help opportunities. There is a wide chance if you success that you can take many ap classes while attending Hsc. We do a lot of trips and activities with outdoor. We are a very hands on school and it is a great school for children who like to be a little weird and have fun. If you come with good energy Hsc will be an amazing for you.

The instructors are really vested in their students success. Being an inner city school I am sure they do not have alot of parental support. I love how muchbtheybreach out to ensure my daughter is doing ok and I am grateful for all of the opportunities that she has been afforded by doing her work and attending here. One thing I wish that was better would be more security, there have been so many fights throughout her 4 years here.

High School in the Community not only offers good education, they also offer positive student role models and a well-rounded future oriented prospective. My son is a current student at HSC and I could not be more pleased with every aspect of the school.
