I have a daughter in 9th grade she really enjoys the school and I am thrilled since I graduated from HHS as well. The school has alot to offer and some great teachers. The school started a new program 'the academy' the classes are close together to allow for an easier transition. This worked very well for my daughter and she has done very well with her group of teachers. I have heard some negetive remarks but not had any bad experiences. Ms. Williams is my daughters digital input teacher and she is excellent! She has worked with me and my daughter to help her reach her full potential. The parent involvement could be better but that is a common problem is alot of schools.

I am a current student at Hampton High. This is my first year to attend and will be my final. I am a military Brat. and have attended many schools two of which highschools. When i came to this school i was extremely disappointed. Not by the people but by the education. The only thing this school cares about is its foot ball. Thats great but when that becomes the utmost highest importance and its making student ignorant and uneducated. Something must changed. I came to this school and I am in honors and AP classes and still I am not challenged as i should be. There is so much violence, drugs, sex, rasicim for people of caucasin and foreign desent. I can not wait to leave. This school needs to turn around stop looking at sports and spending time if not on other clubs then on its education!

Hampton City Schools are some of the worse in the State of Virginia. I attended Lindsay Middle and Hamton High. Both have unqualified teachers and lack social skills. I would never advise a parent, who has the money, to send their child to a dangerous, ignorant, enviornment.

Hampton High is a great school to recieve an education. Yes, there are fights, and there are undisciplined students who would rather roam the halls than attend class, but what school does not have these types of students? At Hampton High, one can be in IB, AP, or Honors classes. That's three levels of difficulty compared to the two levels found in the rest of the Hampton City Schools. Along with academics, HHS is also a very spirited school. I went to Hampton and had the time of my life, and recieved straight A's in the IB program. I think everyone in the city of Hampton should have the opportunity to rock the red -n- white.

I went to HHS my freshmen and sophmore year. HHS is a great school. They always put there students first, and help them in any way possible. Its a very good school. I would defenitely send my kid there.

Hi, this review about Hampton High is going to be horrible. I attend Hampton High and have been for the past two years my sister graduated in 2004 my brother in 2000 and I get the pleasure to leave in 2006. don't get me wrong its a great place to learn they just need to hire more qualifying teachers and not young ones fresh out of college. The security is lacking the administration is terrible.

I strongly feel that it is not all the school and the staff problem. If parents would do what they needed to do at home alot of the problems would not be in schools. I feel that Hampton High is a wonderful school. I graduated from there and now have two sons attending. People are not perfect and it is totally unfair to the school for parents to continue to put blame when they will not do their part! It takes a village now to raise our children.
