After attending John Handley High School for all 4 years of my high school career I am satisfied with how nice this school is. The school itself is beautiful, and there are some very good teachers. Though, like every other school, not all of the teachers are that good. I feel ready for college after taking multiple AP classes for 3 years. I am really going to miss this school after I graduate.

Handley does a satisfactory job with their students. However, most students don't actually care about the outcomes of their educations which causes detriment to the teachers. This results in overall burnout from everyone. Education is not prioritized, student participation in events is slim.

Teachers who care, plenty of course options, a beautiful campus, and all the tools a bright student needs to become ready for whatever life throws at them, successfully.

This school is terrible!!! They have a huge drug problem, the staff is very much aware of but do nothing about it. They have an even bigger bullying problem. There are fights on a daily basis. The administrative staff have attitudes with students and their parents. They talk bad about students right...
