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.

My experience at Handley High School has been great. We have amazing students and faculty. The best part of my high school experience was experiencing homecoming. For homecoming, each grade level builds floats to present them to the town in our parade. I had the opportunity to help with our class float. I also am a Varsity cheerleader so I got to cheer at the football game that night. I don't really have any worst parts at my high school. What I would like to see change is having more school participation from our student body.

I've been going to Handley since Kindergarten, it's obvious that it is neither the best nor worst, it has a good football team, but they prioritize the football team too much and the rest of the school too little.

I really enjoyed my experience at Handley. All of my teachers are very eager to help with anything. Handley offers multiple classes to prepare students for the future.
