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.

Overall Haralson County High School (HCHS) is a good school. Being a minority in the school system and county was never ideal, but growing up here has taught me a lot. I learned how to work in a setting while being a minority without feeling unwanted. There will always be a thought in the back of my head telling me that I'm different from everyone else, but not many people feel the need to point that out. There will always be people who don't want me near or in the school at all, but I know that I am wanted by others. I know that I deserve to be in a school that will give me the education I deserve. HCHS can work on being a little more diverse, but that would have to include the county as a whole. I love being a student at HCHS and being here has really helped me grow as a person.

I have been a student at Haralson County High School for four years now. It is an amazing school, and I would recommend it to everyone. However, the school needs to improve the quality of the tennis courts. I have played tennis for three years, and I believe that the school should build lights, so that the team can have more home games, and less far away games.

It was an average school. The teachers just passed students so they wouldn't have to do deal with them any more. It did not help in getting ready for college.
