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.

What I liked most about Hardee Senior High School were my wonderful teachers. The thing I didn't like the as much were the restrooms.

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 However, the school is outdated with unhygienic bathrooms.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.

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...
