This School’s Reviews

4.0 Senior

12/3/2024

Most teachers really care about their students and just want to prepare them for the real world and I love that. I also love the faculty like the lunch ladies and janitors who are all really nice. Some rules are not needed but I do like the increased awareness on vaping and other harmful products the students are using because it is just killing them.

I have had great teachers at Halifax county high school. They have taught me resilience and compassion while instilling work ethic in me.

The school is sinking underground and it's disgusting. There are roaches everywhere they haven't ever tried to get rid of them. The achiol bathrooms are always dirty to the point their never cleaned. The school is literally falling apart by the day.

Beautiful school, love the layout. School has taken great steps towards safety. Sad to see that the buses every day take a road (Tabernacle Trail) that is in awful shape with big potholes. Why can’t the road be fixed? That should have been a construction item. The construction is what tore the road...
