As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

It was great at first till some of the current staff showed there true colors. It made me feel ashamed to be apart of a false adverstising school of some what called choice. In some ways it is, yet the students with a court order to be there is not a choice. Parents who force there kids to be there is not a choice. They say it's ur choice, guess what that's not always true. Some of the staff that's been here since 2014 when I started sadly were not that pleasant to have as a teacher, I hate to say. During my junior year was probably the worst year ever at HBHS. My English teacher was not at her best that year. I went to the principle as well as other students nothing changed to help us have a better understanding with eachother, it was a nightmare. When things wern't getting better I decided to transfer to ghhs for senior year. I'm excited to start a new year and I hope to have a better experience with teachers. High school isn't all about the education and grades. It's also the relationships and friendships you build with one another during those 4 years. Every student should be able to feel excited, not feel so down when they have to deal with that teacher or staff member that makes there high school experience a living hell. Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
