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.

Every Teacher,staff and student is making HHS a better place. My daughter LOVES HHS! Close Quote

There is so much to say about this school. It is bad, and well it isn't a suitable workplace. I am about to be a senior here and it isn't academically challenging. You are not allowed to voice your opinion, even on tests where it says "In your opinion..." The food here is terrible. Sure you can pack a lunch but what's the point since you can't really microwave anything. Another thing is that we have Alternative Education, which is for the kids who get into fights and are on the "wrong path." What do they do all day? Play basketball, take walks, and no work at all. We have people who just don't care about school and I realize that you have this everywhere but we aren't doing anything to make them care. The teachers can't teach if they have to deal with the people who just don't care. This school is honestly in my own opinion one of the worst. 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.
