This is a great school. I have sent my two children here and both have done very well academically and socially. I particularly like that the principal is a major presence in the school. He attends all school events, such as chorus and band performances,
teachers are inexperienced and unorganzied and it is not okay to insult the students....there is no control in the classroom...
I love the camaraderie between teachers and parents. The neighborhood is a close-nit community of families who are devoted to the success of their students.
The Principal and Staff are the perfect fit for a JHS. Caring and hard working to make these young teenage years memorable.
Halsey is a great school with wonderful teachers who care about the students. My child went through a lot of 'growing pains' while in Halsey JHS and with the help of the teachers, Guidance counselor, and Asst. Principal's help he made it!!!
I love it because it has #1 principal,great staff and I feel welcome there,plus my son is treated well and he is very happy with his teachers and classmates,I would recomend it to anyone
the teachers are demanding and help kids rise to the occasion as they mature.
I am at this school in 9th grade and i never want to leave, the teachers are great, there is alot of fun and i love this shool
