HCHS is a good school and I'm sure that they try their best but honestly their administration is corrupt and is based on if you are a local or not. You can get away with practically anything if you are close with them. There is also little diversity and most of the student body is racist.

From my time at this school my experience has been extremely good. The classes and academics are extremely good, and I had good experiences with the teachers I have had as well. People are also extremely good and most people I have met are extremely nice nice people as well. I have not had many bad experiences at this school, so I think it is a really good school.
