I am pleased with the school's administration and faculty and felt my children received a solid high school education at Harnett Central High School. I would recommend this school to my friends.

I am currently a junior at HCHS and I am disappointed in this school. While it goes without saying that we are in the countryside and that we are already in an area of low expectations, the experiences at the school on a day to day basis are shocking. The students as a whole do not care about their education and the majority of teachers do not try to make them care for it, they simply do their job and that is the end of it. There is not enough connection with the students, and the small connection that is made is typically reserved for the "popular" kids, usually from higher income households. Students from lower income households are often brushed aside and are not given every opportunity to excel. Once, in a regular science class, my teacher told us that since we were in regular classes, we were seen as "not having potential". This is extremely discouraging and rather than encourage students to work harder, it sends them the message that their education and their future does not matter. The student behavior is incredibly ridiculous, as there is no respect for their peers or for their teachers, but in order for this to be improved teachers must put for the effort as well. Only then will our school be able to move forward in a positive direction.

I am a freshmen at HCHS and i went to the middle school and I love it here, the opportunitys may not be as high as other schools but what would you expect from a high school that is a bit on the rual side? Anyways I really like it here I am currently taking JROTC which I really like and also I'm taking Founadtions of Math 1 and its alot easier then I thought I'm also in Key Club and the key club here is outstanding I really like it. Our school is ver diverse you'll see "Latino" kids hanging out with other ethnic races and I as a latino student with a mexican backgroung and okay to be discribed as so but its very diverse sure it might have its perks but I really like it here.
