Worst school ever as my kids go through it. they never send out their test scores & keep it like classified or need to know stuff. even their PSAT scores which my daughters never received. and their LEXILE Score which i been trying in touch with the teachers and administrators but no luck as i already moved out from the school but they are so lazzy do not won't to transfer stuff even i have given them permission to do so. this is the fifth time i am going to email the school but still no response. so tired of it i only wish the school closed down that would be great now.

This is our 5th year at this school. The only reason we haven't left is out of fear that the public school will be worse and then we won't be able to get back our spot. Very disorganized, lack of communication, office will not return emails, teachers rely on parents to donate literally everything( printer ink, lamps, landscaping.) Close Quote

As a middle school we think HCA can be the best in the county! It's gone through some changes the last couple years, but Mrs. Morris has worked real hard for it to expand and become more organized. Our son's 6th grade year last year was his best year yet! Close Quote

This is the worse school I have ever dealt with. The principal is rude, haughty, and insensitive to the needs of the children. Some of teachers are fantastic, but their hands are tied due to this school's administrator. I would never recommend this school to anyone if they want their child to be successful in a school where the faculty genuinely cares about their well-being, achievements, and works with the parents. My advice is tto stay away from this place. It is a nightmare! Close Quote
