If your kids went to this school I don't know what to say, my brother went to this school and got bullied by the bullies. My brother has tried to reported to a teacher but she doesn't believe it. the bullies also bullied the 1st grade.

Hi. I am a student here at this school, and just wanted to give you a simple review on why you really shouldn’t send your kid here.- The education here is ABYSMAL. If you aren’t in AP/honors courses, community college classes, or even an academy, your student will be bored/unstimulated throughout the whole year (especially if they’re looking for more advanced work). The teachers don’t give out homework, and some don’t even teach all that well (I am in standard courses). I find myself coming home, and wondering what I just spent my whole 6 hours learning. There is an astonishingly low amount of APs/honor courses, and I feel like this school does not adequately prepare the population to handle college.- There is NO student pride at this school. Absolutely none. During rallies, there are many people who don’t participate (since we’re forced to go to rallies) and just scroll on their phones. Students recognize that this school is one of the forgotten schools in the district, and know that this is a “bad” school. Many people just come here because this is their neighborhood school, and I’m one of those folks.- the phone problem is that evident. In all of my classes, many students just spend the whole period on their phones, and honestly, the teachers either don’t notice or they do notice, and they don’t care anymore. - the community isn’t that close-knit. Family engagement is non-existent, as we don’t even have open house. We have back to school night at the beginning of the year, but even then people don’t show up. - the fights here aren’t that bad. Many of these fights happen before we’re on break for school (summer, winter, spring).- one of the pluses here, is that the school has adequate psychologists/nurses/mental health professionals/community resources on hand. As we are designated as a community school, we have a lot of resources that serve the students here at HJHS. It’s honestly amazing.All in all, just come here if you don’t really care about what you’re learning and just want to get your diploma. Otherwise, find somewhere else to go to school, because this ain’t it.

A shadow of its old self, what used to be a great school has been ruined by a newer generation of children. Great teachers, they care about your learning. Fights are very often, but teachers try their best to stop them, even if they get hurt in the process. Students are the main problem here.
