They have a massive problem with bullying. None of the administrators no teachers seem to bother listening to children who ask for help. Resulting in children’s deaths.

Public schools are indoctrination camps with a an unacceptable political agenda.

Dana school is awesome. The principal and teachers are very involved with all the students and really truly care about each student. I am proud that my son goes to this school. Glad I have 2 more children that will also go to this school when they get old enough. Thank you Ms. Schofield and all the wonderful teachers at Dana school. Wildcat team all the way!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As the 2016-2017 school year starts for HES, I must say, our family is sure going to miss this amazing school. You feel like family from the moment kindergarten starts; embarking on a 6 year journey together. The principal, Mrs. Stewart, leads the school with excellence and full of Cubcat pride. Thankful for ALL teachers & staff. Each and every one made a difference in my children's lives. We LOVE HES and you will too!

I recently started at this school and I really think it's an effective institution. The Early College Program partners with BRCC to provide the students with college class access to let them graduate in 4-5 years with both their High School diploma, and their Associate's degree. There isn't much information about the Early College, but when a presentation came to our middle school to inform us about it, I was hooked. It's part of HCPS, but unlike the other high schools, it has a competitive admissions process. The teachers want to know that you are dedicated to your studies and that you care about school above all else. They are supportive and offer lots of help. We have a full-time tutor for any help you need on any subject, and students have access to the Student Success Center in the Blue Ridge Community College, which has additional help. There are also rooms in the school dedicated to independent and group studying. Leadership is highly promoted, and students are often encouraged to participate actively in class. It is more hands on than a traditional school, and group activities are common. There are no sports teams at this time, and it is highly unlikely that they will ever be at the school. However, there are a multitude of clubs and new ones are created each year by students. The building is beautiful with tons of natural sunlight. There are, however, many windows in the classroom, both facing the outside and the hallways, so in the event of an emergency, we are slightly more compromised than an older, more traditional classroom. As it is a challenging program, the workload is a bit more than that of other schools. I have not seen nor experienced bullying. The program is full of challenging classes, and it is fast-paced to fit in time for college and high school classes at the same time, so those with learning disabilities may have more of a hard time at the school. That being said, it doesn't mean you aren't welcome. And last, but certainly not least, it's FREE. Aside from small fees (mostly for typical stuff such as parking), this is a very affordable way to get a head start in college or life after high school. The college classes are completely free, and you only have to pay for them if you fail them and have to retake them. Textbooks are also free (again, unless you are required to retake the class due to a failing grade).This school is great if you are looking for a challenge, diversity, hands-on learning, and new opportunities.
