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.

My daughter started 6th grade at Halsey and went through 8th grade ,she was in one of the Honors classes . And Our experience was wonderful, we only have beautiful things to say about everything. Starting from the teachers, who have been amazing and always helpful, and the school stuff extremely professional and responsible.

I didn't even like this school, to be honest don't put your kids in this school because I got dress coded today when I'm not even wearing a revealing top and why would anyone want to stare at a minors stomach, like who in the right mind does that? I don't get it, but anyways don't put your kid in this school not just about the dress code violation but they don't even help you out when ur getting bullied they just ignore you and what your'e going to. So please I ask you to not put your children here and go through the same thing as I did because I promise you it will not turn out what you expect it to be and some of the teachers here suck and are mean for no reason and scream at you so just stay safe and find an loving school that will actually take care of your'e children the right way unlike how Stephen A. Halsey does.

A lot of rude people in this school and as a 7th grader this school is terrible! You cannot even use phones at lunch and/or devices unless it's for school work.
