Its alright. Lots of substance use issues, average gpa is pretty low. Most teachers are nice though. Lots of options for classes. Very toxic sports groups however, and multiple small discrimination issues between students.

Hartford high school is a phenomenal place to go to school. The culture here is unreal, your not just a hurricane your family. The teachers are remarkably knowledgeable. The sports teams are top tier (especially football and track) the one place it lacks is very bad funding for the art and ESPECIALLY the music program. So take that with a grain of salt. Over all my 3 years here have been phenomenal and your kid's will be too

Their English teacher is teaching his students that bullying is ok! That making fun of how someone looks etc is ok if they have different beliefs than you. He's also teaching them to openly and publicly to disrespect the President on his social media. It's disgusting.

If you are big into sports or are confident about what you want to do when you graduate, Hartford High School is fine. Not the worst but still not all that great. Of the little funding the school recieves, most of it goes towards sports programs. For the students who just want an average high school...

I am a student at hartford high school and my experience has been above average. The education is not the best out of vermont and around half the students are there for the sports more than education. The sports have been pretty good overall these past years, we have won or got second place in state...
