There's been many complaints about this school. Some of the staff has been replaced the assistant principal was let go. But some of the staff that was a part of the problem is still there along with the principal. The staff is very mean they're very mean to the children. They let the children fight the principal does nothing. Which her emails are being intercepted by the new assistant principal. Some of the teachers yell at the students, there's beef and dislike among the staff so you know who already is running it , my two daughters have seen this over the years but not anymore. I'm with drawing them from the school. Their friends also go to the school and know that the staff is very. the lunch lady even told my daughter to clean up her mess on the floor. What a horrible School don't send your kids there many parents have already left already.

BHS has been the worst high school I've ever been to.From students CONSTANTLY fighting weekly to students TRYING to get suspended to get time off. I WISH I had done virtual Virginia and not went to HCS.If you are considering putting you're child into HCS think twice. Some students don't show up most days (In my classes). If students do show up they smoke out the bathrooms and cause issues in class. Im a student and I had to put my school over my Mental health and have had episodes due to stress since middle school. All of HCS has a roach problem too. (But what school doesn't)MOST teachers are respectful enough to students. But the issue lies with the students constantly (Excuse my language) causing sh!t everywhere! I mean for gods sake they don't deal with students smoking in class or in the bathrooms.From fights all the time to a stabbing happening in 2023. Most if not ALL of HCS is this bad. I would rather have paid the 2.5K to go to VVA and went online. SOME teachers (NOT ALL) will push grades over mental health and put students alone to have them "Focus" or something like that.I have had 4 different math teachers in my 3 years at HCS and have only passed ONE semester of math overall. If that doesn't say something then I don't know what does. The highschools are the issue though (And some of the middle schools) the elementary schools are fine in HCS. The highschools are purely chaos 24/7. I mean its constantly hell. Im constantly stressed 24/7 365.My final verdict:Dont enroll you're kids here unless its the last option. Dont put them through what I had to put up with for 3 years.

I cant speak on the education aspect because my child hasnt started yet, but the 2 young black women that work in the office are so rude. The first day I went there to get the paperwork to register my child and it was super awkward , they dont even say hello. Then the next day I went back to return the paperwork and i hear one of the women in the office say " how am I supposed to tell her to go away? " throught the doorbell speaker. Idk what the issue is but they need to do better.
