This school made me stressed everyday after school. I couldn't focus on anything that the teachers were saying due to the amount of background noise I have, and whenever I asked them to help me they never did. Then when we didn't do online school, I always got bullied and the teachers didn't do anything to help me when getting bullied.

My son says that he keeps getting bullied in this school. HE says that all the information that he learns is not useful and the teachers don't give him enough information to do the homework. Every time he's done with remote learning he gets frustrated with everything. My son had a passion for learning but now he doesn't want to go to school anymore. I understand that everything is online but this school could have at least made it easier for students to learn. I do not recommend this school.

The Homework was not very helpful and the tutoring wasn't helpful, it was just a place to finish work, not help with work.

Did not care about the students, and were not helpful and yelled a lot.

Never supported students, and NEVER mediated the problem (causes more problems if not mediated.

Absolutely horrible. Teachers did not support students in any way, and it felt like the teachers hated their jobs. Food was also a very bad problem. Riots and fights happened near the last month of school. Never mediated conflicts. It is very clear that the schedule was sit down, shut up, and listen to the teacher for an hour. Absolutely hated everything there. I was miserable. Also, Never had any good opportunities or real-life skills/ workshops to learn useful information. I am now going to school in a better state which has PLENTY of opportunities for students such as jobs, real-life skills, and social skills. Overall 0/5

I am a current student in HMS. I find this school pretty well administred and lovely and friendly teachers. They all helped me with my transition moving from another country. This school is wonderful.

This school is amazing. The teachers and the administrators are wonderful. We moved to the area from out of state and I couldn't be happier with this school choice. They helped make my child's transition as stress free as possible. Communication with my child's teachers has been easy and convenient. They give parents a list of all the teacher's email addresses and times that they are available to conference with. The school also offers a Parent Portal online to view and access your child's profile and see how they are progressing in school. I am also impressed with the overall atmosphere with the students. They are well behaved and quick to help out other students if need be. There is an overall sense that this school places an importance on good attitude and hard work ethic. I couldn't have picked a better school for my child to attend.
