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 overall experience with Hylton was somewhat mixed. I would say the best thing about it were the students, but it was also the worst. We had a lot of new rules implemented because kids did not know how to behave, such as locking lots of the bathroom doors, which made things a bit challenging. I did enjoy some classes, but I have to admit that some were quite boring, and that made the overall experience a bit less exciting for me.

Hylton is a decent school. I like the diversity of the school and how much teachers care for their students. I was part of the soccer team and that was one of the best experiences during HS. The only thing I didn't really enjoyed was the food.

I have been at Hylton for four years. My first year I attended online due to covid-19. Although once I started going to school in person I loved Hylton. The school is great and the support there is amazing and I wouldn't have wanted to go to any other high school.

High school was intimidating to say the least but my daughters year as a freshman was a great success despite a few of the teachers not being responsive, giving homework but never checking it and not even making an attempt to get to know students esp those who are shy. 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...

I wrote a review earlier this year as a parent with a student who just finished the 9th grade this past June. Here are my thoughts: 1. I don't understand the homework policy for the PreAP classes. Seems to me they cram a bunch of things in and do not tailor to student learning styles. I understand e...
