The School itself is very nice as well as most of the faculty. For the most part each teacher wants you to succeed. The Faculty is always there to help you or talk to you. The Student body is very large and all eat lunch together which results in many problems and bullying. Overall, Hurricane is a great school.

I agree with the parent who gave the school 1 star. There are exceptional teachers at this school, however there are others who are just going through the motions. My child has been demeaned by a teacher and has heard other students demeaned by the same and other teachers. My student has a teacher who loses student's work on her extremely messy desk and rolls around the room in her chair to teach. This same teacher mispronounces common words and grades my child's accurate homework as incorrect. The parking and drop off at the school is probably the worst I have ever seen. Dangerous to the students and a huge time delay to the community.

The principal really sets the tone for this school. She knows details about each student and is always interacting with them in the hallways and regularly visits the classrooms. The Title One teachers are a great asset to this school because they are very personable and they are involved with ALL students. All of the teachers from what I can tell show genuine interest in teaching the students and are informed of challenges at home. We wish the students could be outside more but school district policy won't allow outdoor activity when temperatures drop below a certain degree (which is from Nov-April). The only negative thing I have to say about our experience is the amount of screen time the students receive. They are using computers which is great, but they also watch movies during free times which seems to occur weekly.
