Hazard Independent School Dist. is great. I am a HHS Grad c/o 98 and I am thinking of relocating back there just so my children can go there as well. There's nothing like a Bulldog baby!!!!

I am a graduate of Hazard High and I think the school is excellent. I transferred here from Indianapolis' Arlington High School and I never really liked it there. I was on the Football, Basketball, and Track team at Hazard and I didn't receive any special treatment for being a athlete. I don't know what school was like for some, but it was a lot better than most for me.

Horrible the poeple who comment no this school havent been anywhere outside of the hazard area. If you are foreign, or of a different religion be prepared for a barrage of religous and racist harassment. This school also gives way too much attention to its sports program. I mean they practically worship their athletes to the point they are treated like rock stars and receive perks in school. This is not a good school at all, and there is many bad things under the surface

I'm a freshmen at Hazard this year, and all I can say is: 'Go Bulldogs!' I've been home-schooled from 5th grade forward, and while it made me closer with my Mom and I think was for the best at the time, I missed public school life. So I returned, wearily, to Hazard. Happy, the principle, made me feel so welcome when I went in to get information about the school. He gave me a tour, and introduced me to several teachers that were there cleaning up before school started. I felt like part of the Hazard family already. It was even better when school finally started, I made friends immediately, and loved my classes. When I was in public school before this point, I missed six weeks out of the year, it's now nine weeks into the year and I haven't missed a day, or thought about it.

Hazard has one of the most innovative small schools that can be found in our area. This year we only have 312 students, but our principal and teachers strive to meet the needs of each one of their students by getting to know them and their family so they can anticipate their needs and quickly meet them so they can progress with their education and prepare them to go into the next phase of their lives successfully. I am so proud of this school system and feel fortunate that four generations of my family have advanced onward to accomplish their goals successfully.

I graduated this past may. I LOVED every minute of being a bulldog. The teachers,the students,everyone makes this school the best around

My child will be a freshman at Hazard. She is very excited about the coming year. She did attend the county school system and she is much happier in the Hazard city schools. The classes are smaller and the teachers really care and go that extra mile for their students.

We attend Hazard High, the best school in the STATE! Since our class has been in high school our test scores have skyrocketed to 7th in the state. Our sports programs have also excelled, our Basketball team won state All A, our cheerleaders placed 12th in the nation, our softball has achieved the prestigious 'elite 8' title, and our band placed 2nd in the state. All these accomplishments have been achieved in the past four years. At Hazard High we have a wonderful faculty and above all an outstanding principal. Mobelini is our inspiration to achieve our deams and excel in life. In our opinion Hazard is the BEST! -the class of 2006!<3

About the tests


In 2010-2011 Kentucky used the Kentucky Core Content Tests (KCCT) to assess students in grades 3 through 8 and 10 through 12 in reading, social studies, science, writing, and math. The Elementary School results displayed on GreatSchools profiles are for grades 3 through 5 combined for each subject. Middle School results are for grades 6 though 8 combined, and High School results are for grades 10 though 12 combined. The KCCT is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Kentucky.
