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.

Hall is an overall good school, but I feel like they don't really do much in terms of bettering the school. They don't listen to students and they don't take our requests or our issues into consideration for anything.

The teachers at Hall High School are very experienced and kind. There are many resources at the school varying from extra help to counseling. The administration is very involved and cares about student wellbeing. There is a large emphasis on academic integrity at Hall. The music program is fantastic with great teachers and amazing programs. The music community is very fun, welcoming, and talented.

My son has some attention issues and Instead of helping him is being made to feel worse about himself. As a parent I feel like I need to protect him from their constant criticism and made to feel like we are making their school average lower! I truly don't think they understand what it means to have...
