I am an alumni of Hopewell-Loudon, and I feel that overall the school is exemplary. I feel that the teachers are enthusiastic, helpful, approachable, and knowledgeable. During my experience as a student in this school, I found that the administration seemed unapproachable and didn't always have the best interest of all students in mind. They clearly favored some students (particularly those with familiar family names) over others. Discipline was inconsistent and sometimes unfair. They were not good at praising the great achievements of successful students, either. Certain sports teams were more appreciated than others, and students who excelled in other areas (art, band, choir, quiz bowl, etc.) were not often acknowledged. The teachers make this school a great place to learn and grow. Thankfully, the administrators didn't come out of their offices enough to ruin my great experiences. For the teachers and students, I give a 5-star A+. For the administrators, I would put them below average.
