Hertford County High School

Parents do not let your children go here. It is a horrible High School. It seems like 90% of the teachers could care less about us, and the counselors are not smart at all. The people who run this school are not doing a very good job. They are very wishy-washy. One second they want to suspened everybody for their coats and the next they could care less. ughh this is my 12th year in HCPS and im not impressed at all.

As a student at HCHS Iwould call this the worst the staff main focus is uniform and not academic wise and thats not good we have a nice principle with no kind of backbone it seems as the student have no voice in whats goin on with us and then the teachers feel they have to holla at the students and for what reason i dnt know I just feel if the teacher focus on school and not what the kids are doing in the streets because yes they always wanna know what we did the weekend this school would be an excellent enviornment thank you an HCHS senior class of 2010!!!!!!!!!!

This School and district are poorly run, The principal at the high school didn't not want to involve himself with my child's problems at this school, always said it wasn't his responsiblity. The School superintendent at the time would return calls and didn't even know what it was I needed to talk to him about. Hopefully now that he is gone things will get better, but i know that it will take a long time to change attitudes in the system

If you as a parent don't stay on top of things at this school your children will fall through the cracks of the system. Counselors and teachers don't seem to care about anything but their paycheck.

This is the worst school I have ever attended the teachers here don't care. The principals are only concerned about the uniform policy and that's all. To me it seems that they wouldn't care rather we all flunked out or not.And the students have an ' I don't care' attitude only because the some of the teachers make them feel like nothing.

HCHS is a good school. the teachers do teach. it's some of the students that rather worry about how they look and about the brand of the shoes and clothes - its not a fashion show its a school.

I am a student a HCHS and I would like to say that this isn't a very good school. At the school, they worry more about the discipline and not enough on the students academics. If the staff would just try to focus all there attention on improving those horrible scores, then maybe they would be doing better. I'm sure that the kids there are excellent learners, but they need to be given that extra push that the staff is not providing.

The school is decent...there's worse, but it is decent. There are a lot of fights here, however, and limited AP courses (biology, calculus, US history)
