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.

The teachers are nice and can be your friends at times when you need them. I enjoy my time learning the guitar and finding the right people. One thing i did not like is having to wear a ID for school.

This school has many opportunities in its systems. I can go DE and even get certified in certain areas. However, the school is outdated with unhygienic bathrooms. Rats infest certain buildings and floods often happen (we are an outside school). So overall, the education itself is not bad but the conditions we have to go through are bad.

Hardee Senior High is the only high school in our district, but it puts a heavy emphasis on helping students achieve their goals. The teachers are friendly and are invested in student growth. The administration knows you by name instead of by an id number.

In a nutshell my kids education tanked when we moved here. There needs to be a change at the helm. Considering it is the only High School in the county I feel the state needs to step in and take over. My son was never told his senior year he was missing credits. He passed all his classes but forgot...

I went to this school and it was a horrific experience! Students being rowdy and throwing desks, chairs, whatever. Teachers standing by not doing anything because they were scared themselves in my opinion. It was an incredibly scary "learning" environment. Apparently they have a high teen pregnancy...
