Hartselle Jr. High School is a great school! I ams an eigth grade student here at HJHS and I believe that this scool ma have its up and downs, bgut over-all it's a wonderfull place to go to school.

I am currently attending HJHS and am in the eighth grade. I believe that my school is a great school that allows me and my fellow students chances to learn many things that will help us in our future. HJHS also offers many sports and extra-curiccular activities in which we may participate in. I absolutely

Also, I believe something needed to be done in the safety of the pick-up and drop-off routine, but a better system is needed. If you gated off(rather than chaining off) and kept a traffic gaurd there daily, kids would be required to use the crosswalk and would make it much safer. Also, if the parking lot out back was paved(all over) and parking spots were painted, things would go more fluently. Still, HJHS is a great school. I give it a 6-star, 110%,A+++ rating. Read less

My son's experience was that of any normal Jr. High student. He did have some conflicts with other students and he did have some trouble with grades, but I believe that his teachers cared about his success and I also believe that the Hartselle School district, as a whole, is a good one. There are bullies

The areas that could have stood improvement were areas that he alone had to improve on. I do not agree w/the distribution of condoms by anyone within the school, but I was unaware of that until recently. It is something I will follow up on. K. Akers Read less

I have to agree with the feedback of the parent who is unhappy with this school. My child has been bullied and called names this entire year. We have never attended a school system where it was like this. I think those in charge try to deal with this issue when they are told about it but I have a feeling
... Read more that the children have a TOTAL lack of respect for others feelings or for the adults in the school. Why is there no class in place to teach tolerance and kindness? I chose this school and town for the 'small town' feel and 'southern hospitality' I am disapointed. Read less

My opinion has not changed about HJHS. I will never approve of a sixth grade student being allowed to distribute condoms in the hallways without retribution from the administration. Students skip classes, use vulgarities and expletives in the hallways, and terrorize other students, and the teachers
... Read more are clueless. I am not the only one with this opinion; I am just the only one who will voice it. My child will not attend HJHS after this year. My child is certainly too good for the moral atmosphere to which he has been exposed this year. We will attend private schools henceforth. Read less

As a teacher at Hartselle Junior High School since 1974, I am very surprised at Ms. Ramey's review. Our principal is one of the finest people I have ever known. His concern for the students is apparent in every decision he makes. I don't know what happened concerning Ms. Ramey's children, but her opinion
