Horn Lake High School

As a parent I can say this is an okay school and that I must agree with a previous post. I am so disappointed that the school does not promote higher academic achievement. And there is alot of work to be done to prepare students for a college education other than the local community college. The teachers from conversing with my daughter are not encouraging. I am having to pay private tutoring fees to prepare my student for an acceptable ACT score for a presidental scholarship. There's alot of work ahead for the system and it starts with the staff !

Horn Lake high is really a great school,my son has been going there for few years now and the teachers and staff are very nice and helpful. I could not ask for a better school.

I give horn lake high 4-stars because it is definitely a thousand times better than most of the surrounding schools (for example: memphis city and shelby county schools) However, I think they could work harder on preparing the students a little more for college, especially in science. Overall, Horn Lake High is a good school with many extracurricular activities and class choices. Also, the administration here works hard at providing a safe environment for students and teachers.

Horn Lake High is not that great of a school.There is a lot of drama at this school and many of the other students don't care about their grades. I go to classes all the time where many people just sleep.There is potential for this school to be so much better, but it isn't. That's the harsh reality.They enforce the dress code more than they care about the education.That's how bad it is.

It is a good school with admin and with the majority of teachers who care. You have to motivate yourself to do your work and make good grades.

Horn Lake High did not prepare its students for college. As a former honors student going to the University of Memphis now, I can say that the English and Science is very weak and needs improvement. I had to learn everything the hard way ( Ex: writing paper five times or more to get an A). Avoid if possible!

Horn Lake is a very good school. People get down on it because it isn't as new as some of the others in Desoto County. New doesn't always equal quality. I believe the administration is very good and cares about the kids. The majority of the teachers are very good and very competent. I have no problem sending my child there and I look forward to the new school coming up in the next year.
