My daughter is a graduating senior at Hebron. She has been there for three years. She took all pre-AP and AP classes that were available, and has been very active in the fantastic band program. If your child is willing to work hard, all the tools they need are available at Hebron. She is now an All-State clarinetist, a National Merit Scholar, and has received multiple scholarship offers. We love Hebron!

My 9th grade teenager has been bullied by the teacher in front of the class. I do not want my child or any other student at Hebron to be a victim of bullying. No teacher should ever say anything like that to kids, teachers like that shouldn't even be around kids. I am waiting for the principal to take action on this, If nothing happens, I am going to take this to the board and aware the media. I just want to aware all of the students and parents that if anything happens to their kids that they should take action immediately.

I hope that this review is posted, i'm starting to feel that only the good reviews are the only ones posted, but we will see. My experience was theworst thing to have happen to my teen. Teen was targeted by a asst. princ. and had my convinced that my teen was the worst , harassment, humiliation, searchs on regular basis that were not only needed but nothing was ever found. I was told just looked like on drugs eventhough i explained and provided dr. medication that could cause this. Teen was always placed in front of teacher and told could never go to restroom . This person has changed my teens life and has left us to pick upm pieces for her bulling and harassment for no reason annd never a valid reason fpor what she did. We have bullies in schools but who would understand a person of title and also being paid to bully embarasss and humil. teen has been greatly effected and im sure this has happened to others at this school its got to stop.

I attended Hebron High School and I enjoyed every minute of it. The faculty and staff were supportive and involved in each child s life. I saw one post regarding the dress code and I do not think this is an isolated incident, this happens in the majority of schools and any institution for that matter. I am African American so I am experienced in saying so, we tend to stand out when we break the rules or even walk a fine line anywhere we go. I honestly do not feel the Hebron Staff would racially profile students as I was once a student there myself and they treated me with the utmost respect and love. I will say that in my dress code days I was told by the Asst. Principal due to the figures of African American females in comparison to a Caucasian it is definitely more noticeable when an African American student breaks dress code. Blame genetics LOL

Hebron High School has a lot to offer for a variety of students and both of my boys got a good solid education at that school.

The teachers really care about their students and their future success and the school spirit is not only apparent at school but in the community.

Hebron has prepared my daughter to succeed in college in a fun and solid community environment. The staff, administration and parents work together to encourage, educate and set out children up for success.

In the spring of 2009 my job required us to relocate back to Texas from Maryland. Our primary concerns were; the impact the move would have on our child and of course the quality of education. Because of our not so pleasant experiences with the public school systems (both Maryland & Texas), we took our time and carefully researched several options surrounding the Dallas area. I m so glad that we did! Hebron has been worth all the stresses associated with a major move. The Administrators, Support staff and most of all the Teachers were and are the best that we ve ever encountered. The transition was very easy on our son and I can truly say that I have no more concerns about him being challenged academically. The student population is very diverse and is made up of a great group of young men and women. Hebron was a great choice!

Their full block schedule does not fit my child's learning style. It also does not encourage mastery of the subject taught. It simply informs students long enough to take the final and then it's forgotten. In other words, nothing at Hebron is taught deeply.

As Hebron graduates start rolling off the assembly line of the best colleges and universities in the US, we are seeing proof positive that Hebron is a great school. In those early years of construction and start-up, Hebron's instability and growing pains made for trying times for students, teachers and parents. But the proof is in the success of Hebron's graduates, and they are shaping-up to be some of the finest that LISD has produced. Congratulations to the faculty and staff at Hebron High School, and to LISD for their vision and commitment to all North Carrollton schools.

Hebron is an excellent school. The Hebron High School Band is award winning, and the kids work hard, but they have a great time. It's been an awesome experience for my son.

The oodles and oodles of school spirit. Actually seeing people be involved, and give such support for their school amazes me. I never thought it was real.

No school is perfect, but I think Hebron is a great school. Only thing I don't like is the accelerated block schedule

Great school with an amazing athletic department constantly producing college bound athletes.Also, there are many great teachers that really are there for the kids and are very well educated enough to help them succeed.

Great school but despise the accelerated AB Block that Lewisville District uses. I do not believe it prepares the students for college. It is developed in order to have the best football team in the state.

I can't believe no one else has reviewed this school in the past four years!I haved lived in this area my entire life and I must say, throughout the years, this school has GOT to be one of the best(if not THE best)schools in the whole area by far.You wouldn't believe it was a public school just by walking around the halls on a school day!The teachers really care and are really involved in all aspects of the students academic life.The students are taught not only academics, but how to act and respect each other and their elders (teachers, visitors, etc.) This is extremely rare in this day and time.We moved from Carrollton, when my youngest was going into Freshman year,the first year the school opened,and what a difference! It was the best thing that could have ever happened in my daughter's life. Keep up the good work!
