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.

The Hawbridge School used to be a place of inclusiveness and safety while learning rich curriculum. However, that all changed under the new administration. Hawbridge became a hostile environment with little to no discipline and focus on the wrong subjects. Violence and bullying were excused while self-defense and mental health were demonized and unacknowledged.

I enjoyed the unique location of The Hawbridge School. Having the opportunity to do things like canoeing for PE class or having school assemblies in a beautiful ballroom was fun. However, there are a few teachers who were rather unpleasant during my time such as Laura Rasmussen and Kevin Duke. Also over the years, I feel the focus left the arts a fair amount. Overall a good experience but I hope the current administration takes care of the few bad apples.

I have been neglected and told to wait it out or change my life for a harasser. I have not been taught material that was covered in the ACT and, as a result...

There’s some really amazing teachers! But some subpar teachers also. There’s no surveys for parents or students. Better communication from administration and making sure all teachers are doing a good job would make this school much better.
