Herbert Hoover High School

Attending Hoover had been one of the best experience thus far in my life. Yes, sometimes I had trouble with my schedule, classes, or had an issue to handle in the office in which my problem was not addressed right away, but there was always someone there to help me in any way possible. I would recommend HHS to anybody and everybody. The teachers there are top notch and if you are one of the parents who posted negative things about the teachers not caring, it's YOUR fault for letting your child slip up. Do your job as a parent and do not leave the discipline to the teachers to handle; having your ignorant child as a student is probably hard enough already. But whatever the circumstance, Hoover is, and always will be better than Bullard.

this school is extremely fun its full of fun exciting things to do from dancing to sports or just fun.

I have not found that Hoover is coopertive with notifying parents of absences, my daughter missed 8 days in one class one semester and I was never notified. They also never made sure she had at least a 2.0 to participate in band events even though it caused her to miss school at times. I have been very disapointed in Hoover, they seem to have the attitude that they could do these things if they were a bigger school, I think they could do these things if they would put in a little effort. If the school is not willing to put in the effort it does not give the kids much reason to want to put in much effort. My daughter failed a class last year with no notification or contact of any kind from the teacher that was not initiated by me.

The school lets students and parent shirk responsibility. My junior leaves campus for lunch as does his friends and they are not stopped. The dress code is not inforced. When I went on campus to discuss a cut my child had, there were around forty or so students wandering the campus even though it was during a class period.

Hoover H.S. needs a quality principal and teachers who are committed to the students learning. Staff who inspire the students and lead by example with professionalism and adept. We have not had good experiences with staff this school year. I would not recommend Hoover H.S. to anyone who cares about their child.

Three of our children have attended HHS and all of them have done very well there. There actually is a very good blend of cultural, ethnic, academic, and activity backgrounds. Many of the teachers are very caring people doing the best they can. Yes, there are some teachers who appear pretty weak, but overall it's been a good experience.

This school is the best school ever because most of the teachers teach good stuff to students in the county. Also, lot's of nice people over there treats you good. Therefore, I say it's a 10/10.

I have had three children participate in this school and two have graduated. I have no complaints at this time. I have nothing but good to say about this school. They have always taken care of my childrens needs and wants. Good job Hoover !

I visit dozens of schools throughout the country each year. Hoover is among the worst. The reason is simple. Administration supports and even encourages teachers who choose to ignore their responsibilities to the students. I've witnessed it numerous times.
