The school is great, but they lack diversity. One can only question why there are so little minority students. With 97% White and 3% African American in 2009, it makes you wonder why. Are they not seeking minority students, are they being discouraged or could the admission testing be bias.

I have been attending HG since 6th grade, at first it was a great school, but over time I think they have lost sight of the 'big picture' the administration has become less concerned with the welfare of the students and more interested with stats.

This school is a great place! The teachers make learning fun and are very fair to everyone. They also love teaching and working with students and this really makes learning fun even when it is challenging. They won't let kids goof off and encourage all of the students to try their best. I'm glad

This is a wonderful school. My two boys came out of a public school situation where they were told that they 'could not discuss or mention God' but other children were allowed to discuss Islam in great detail. We are thankful to Hickory Grove which treats all students fairly and provides a solid education
... Read more that is better than most schools in the Charlotte area. As a teacher in the Charlotte area, and as a parent, I am very pleased with the high quality of education that my children are receiving. The Hickory Grove campus is also very secure. I don't worry about school shootings, stabbings, or unappropriate conduct happening at Hickory Grove. Hickory Grove also teaches children about the world in which we live but holds them to a higher standard than what they see around them. They instill values, something public school teachers want to do, but aren't allowed to Read less

My son has attended HGBCS since the 1st Grade. He's going to the 12th grade this year. HGBCS have provided him with the tools to be successful academically. As a parent, it s my job to provide him guidance about worldly issues, not HGBSC. Kudos goes to Mr. Ward, Coach Coffey and Coach Rhodes.

I attended Hickory Grove from grades 5 through grade 8. I liked the school, but as 8th grade came around, I realized that the school was pretty much infatuated with George W. Bush! One of the teachers, Mrs. Forbis, even had a cutout of him in her classroom! I was always trying to make arguments about

I think that this school is wonderful, but it is a little sheltered and doesn't adequately prepare its students for the real world. Everyone isn't happy-go-lucky and George Bush is great in the real world. Read less

We are so thankful that God has provided our son the opportunity to attend such a wonderful school. The administration is supportive to both parents and teachers. Teachers are trusted to do their jobs and are given the opportunity to have input in decisions that are made by the administration. We

As a parent of two former HGBCS students, I must disagree with the above reviews. My children completed elementary school, middle school and one attended high school there. This school is not ready for the challenge of preparing high school students to live in the modern world. The administration makes

Read more no apology for its arbitrary application of the disciplinary code, offers students no chance to defend themselves from accusations by other students and parents when accused of infractions. Teachers are disciplined when they question administration policy, even when it is in the interest of student safety.

I wish I had more room... Read less

I attended HGBCS in 2003, when I was in 7th grade. The school was great. Some people say that the homework was 'to much', but I don't agree. The people are loving, the teachers know how to teach, and the chaples are incredibly moving. I totally recomend this school to everyone.
