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.

This school SUCKS none of the teachers care about the students and the admin ONLY do things by the book and never try to help or anything. The food is bad like real bad, unless its the spicy nuggets or chicken patty thing but that's IT the beef is really fake and you can tell. The teachers always without fail give hard assignments and never take into account learning disabilities and their 504 program is horrible

Even though I’m not a rebel, my mother was. I actually met some of her teachers and to be honest, I don’t know why everyone is saying bad stuff about HHS, sure the fent problem makes it look bad but its still a good school in the end.
