I would say that my experience in hylton highschool has been overall okay, it's a good highschool experience but I see the lack of interesting fraud in the school and involvement between students, teachers and administration is very much lacking.

On the flip side, the teachers...

I went to Hylton this past school year 2013-2014. I went for my freshman year and I was in the CISL program. The idea of the CISL program is great, but the expectations are ridiculous. I knew a lot of kids who ended up dropping out of it because they couldn't maintain good enough grades to stay in t...
