Hazel Park High School

My daughter attended HPHS last year, sadly I moved her because I felt Royal Oak would have been a better school. I was wrong, sending her to ROHS proved that Hazel Park is a much more positive and uplifting school. It is a traditional education. The students are more encouraging and so are the teachers. They don't make experimental changes because the corriculum they have WORKS. Needless to say my daughter will be returning to HPHS next year for her own good.

I think this school is turning into a positive place. Some of the teachers are turning into a great example for the students. I.e. Mr green is an excellent role model. He gets the job done. He is fair and assertive. When my kids come home all the do is talk about him.

As a parent, I think HPHS is a great place to send your children. From the Superintendent on down, the staff cares about the kids. Both of my sons received a great education and liked high school. The principal and the teachers are always avaliable to help in any way. There does need to be more parent involvement. The staff can only do so much. Nancy

i am a student, and this school is very poor. there are way to many kids here that don't belong in this school district, and should go to their own schools. we have way to many kids that drop out, and don't care. the teachers are okay, most of them are very friendly, but they don't neccassarily care about our grades.

i hve been in hazel park schools for a while and just found out recently if your child or children of school of choice you have no say so i was told today the adminstrators of each building decides if your child attends or not so if you complain about anything to the principal be careful or children will be punished . even though your taxes pay for the district where your child attends all hazel park schools are only interested in the money not your voice

I'm a former student of Hazel Park High School who has since dropped out. Some of the teachers are excellent, but management is poor. Problem solving consists of taking both parties of the dispute, putting them in an office with the principal or vice principal or counselor, and trying to get them to both concede ground until they're somewhere in the middle. This isn't effective because there are a lot of times where one student is just a bully. With the current system, he can start fights with someone innocent, and a teacher will make the innocent person apologize to the bully so long as the bully apologizes back. When they leave, the bully starts over again. It's why fights are so prevalent here. They don't care for students unless they're dropping out, and only then because they get money per student.

Don't send your children here!! I am a former student and currently have two brothers attending. Since I left, the school has been rapidly deteriorating. The teachers seemed to have given up on the lazy, disrespectful student body. Unless you want your children to drop out, stay out!!

Schools can only be as good as the parents raise their kids. Bad news for Hazel Park, way too many bad parents make too many bad kids. Parents stand up to your children, make the schools better by being better yourself. -Dave
