H-F continues to be ranked among the top schools in THE NATION according to Newsweek and was acknowledged by the National Board as having one of the best AP programs in the Midwest. They will be one of the ONLY public high schools in the south, west, and northwest suburbs to have an International Baccelaureate program. It all starts with a great administration!
Not a very safe school- has a lot of issues and unfortunately, H-F is not the top notch high school it was 25 years ago. Really sad.
HF really offers a lot for its students. It is really a wonderful school. Though it is making way to more african american students, the students are very happy to attend there and is a safe environment. They are great in sports and overall everything! I give it a thumbs up!!
HF really has a great academic program with top notch teachers and administrators.
april 29,2010 My daughter is a freshman at H-F this year. I am impressed with the school. The teachers are very caring.My daughter enjoys it very much.
I know that HFHS has more than the average extras offered to enhance my daughters education. I know that the staff cares. I know that my children are prepared for college and confident in their education. HF has it all!
Wonderful students, great teachers. I am very impressed with the academic program at HF. The honors program can match any university; the regular classes are challenging as well. The students should be well prepared to succeed in college.
I really think HF is a great school. The teachers put all their work into teaching the kids good mannerisms and great ways to teach us students. I am a junior at HF and the teachers are really helpful. If you don't get the material in class, stay after school and they will teach you another way how to understand the material. I give the school a lot of credit for staying on top. Students try and do their best. I don't think most parents really truely understand High School nowadays.
HF is a good learning institution that offers a healthy balance of acaedmics, diversity, sports, and faculty. But it also appears that the school and community is having problems dealing with the difference in changing culture. Sadley some misconstrue culture with saftey which is a unfair observation.
I would consider H-F to be more comparable to a small college than a high school. I truly believe that this High School prepares students for a rigorous University. The quality of the educational curriculum and the teachers are above anything I have seen in comparison to many schools in the Chicagoland area. The amount and type of classes that are offered to the students is unbelievable. I feel that my kids will come out of H-F ready to attend a top College and succeed in the future. By the way H-F has a new principal who is doing an outstanding job.
