We moved to fishers and thought HSE a schools provided many opportunities for our kids. Well, it certainly did. Opportunities for harassment and bullying, which they cover up. They do nothing to prevent student harassment and even worse, allow coaches and teachers to rule with fear and intimidation. We tried to file report but administration did nothing. Would not recommend this school. Too large to care m. Students just a number and they are more concerned with ratings and teacher bonuses then man protecting and teaching kids. Find another district and school system. Close Quote
