It is a great school!! Though I often feel bad for the teachers because middle schoolers/teenagers are chaotic, annoying, etc. The teachers are great and have led me to have a great middle school experience!!

This school does everything they can to stop students from receiving supports for learning disadvantages. We fought them for YEARS and when my student when to the high school, every accommodation denied by HMSS was approved within months. They tried to suggest he needed to be medicated but that wasn't and still isn't the case. With the right supports, most students can achieve their goals. This is not the case at HMSS. Don't go here if students struggle with learning disadvantages.

Excellent school with teachers that care. We had a couple of teachers spend time with our son after school after he was remiss in handing in homework. They got him back on track. My daughter loved her time there.

Not a special needs friendly district. Beware! Homework is used as a substitute to actual teaching by several teachers. Testing and scores can be manipulated.
