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.

I have attended Halls High School for four years. Though I adore my teachers and friends I have made along the way, our school needs improvement. Our art system is extremely broken and more and more money is swept out from under them each year. We need to work harder to welcome new students and ensure everyone feels comfortable. There is very little diversity and I hope to see more in the future.

although the diversity is not there, I absolutely love halls. I have learned so much from the people and administrators. The teachers are absolutely lovely people, I can't speak for everyone but I absolutely love halls. The school spirit is absolutely rampant. Lovely campus

Bad. I have watched 2 very talented and smart kids come apart at the seams going to this school. Mostly because of the staff that refuses to do anything about bullying. I'm very disgusted with Halls High School.

This school is truly the best school in Knox County. All those writing negative reviews have had one experience that they didn't win, or the teacher cared enough to be strict. Don't write bad reviews because you didn't get exactly want you wanted. I am a student, and third generation attendee of Hal...
