School Reviews

HHS Review:
Academics- Academics here aren't very strong. If you are trying to apply to a prestigious college (Colombia, Harvard, etc.) good luck getting in as there is a very slim chance that could ever compete with other students whose high school offers a much broader & challenging curriculum. Also you have the faculty basically telling you NOT to take the harder classes via some contradictory explanation.
Extracurricular Activities- Anyone at HHS knows that the football team is grossly overfunded compared to everything else. This is strange when you find out that most other activities (band, softball, etc.) are much more successful & you''d think that the school would spread the funding to other areas. On the other hand, if you''re willing to sacrifice quality, there is a good number of activities to choose from.
Academic & Athletic Awards- Near the end of every school year, the school does hold an award ceremony where the highest averages are announced, the obvious school favorites are given made-up awards that no one else quite remembers when they themselves were told of it, and so-forth.
Facilities- An effort has been made at sprucing up the high school buildings & the science building is great, but the 9th grade building is somewhat... outdated. ("Here at Haleyville High, we give all the teachers iPads that aren't needed at all, but still use rarely-working radiators in the winter!")
