What people are saying

by a student
Thursday, May 16, 2019

The environment is incredibly toxic and the bullying problem is rampant. The education is also pretty bad. I went from barely passing any classes in Hornell to high honor roll with a grade average in the high 90's after transferring to another school. Hornell is also stupid enough to let a student who brought a gun to school twice back in even after he was found out to be involved with the school shooting threat in like 2018. I cannot recommend this school. Close Quote
