This school has undergone a wonderful change in the past 2 years; with new principals, new schedule, new vision. The best is yet to come for students!

What a difference a year makes. Under the leadership of our new principal and energetic PTA, Mount Hebron is resuming its academic strides and sense of school community. We are very pleased with Mount Hebron's dedicated teaching staff and learning environment.

O.K...the good, bad and the ugly... First, the ugly. Mt. Hebron has the possibility to be great, and I think, with the right principal, it will be. Currently, it's been languishing in a 'status quo' environment for too long, which is particularly strange because it's the science and technology school. However, we will be getting a new principal next year, so I do think things are going to change for the better. As for the good: My daughter really LOVES her teachers (as do we), who follow the kids for 3 years. Also, they've got a wonderful algebra and geometry program and have art/music programs. The bad: There's just too many unmotivated kids, which detract from the learning environment. The flip side, though is that my daughter's got straight A's, has gained extreme academic confidence, and is completely motivated to excel in high school, because she knows she can achieve.

This school is really fun. All the teachers are amazing, and I've learned a lot from them. I'm in 7th grade.

I loved the school. The teachers were great, and the learning environment was bettet than I could hope for. I loved having A and B days, so I was able to learn so much more in a huge block of time, compared to 45 minute classes every day. The school itself was amazing and the fact that it is a technology-based school is so much fun. Almost everything was done on computers, and I learned so much about typing, microsoft excel, spreadsheets, computer animation, and so much more. Honestly, I would not be where I am today if not for the great experience at Mt. Hebron. Currently I am a high school student and I really miss this school.

this is a terrific school, for a child that has been held back from private school.

The school has small class sizes, making it easier for student and teacher to have a better relationship. The school is separated into five houses. The student will stay within that house for the entire time enrolled as a student. Changes of schedule are easily made. Students interact with the same people throughout the three years. At lunch two houses are combined. There are four blocks in the day and A and B days. A days has a set schedule as does day B. Students will find that the middle school is much different from the high school because of the 'togetherness', in the high school the kids will be separated. Overall the school is okay. If your child is into technology this school is great, if they are interested in the performing arts Glenfield would be a much better choice. School buses pick the students up.
