I had to take my daughter out of this school and into virtual learning because the counselors and admin here are a complete JOKE. They do not have the kids interest at all. They are incompetent and quite honestly are just there for a paycheck. They ruined my daughter’s experience of ever going back to traditional school.

In my honest opinion, this school has gone downhill I feel like administration can do a better job in understanding the students better as well as safety and communication, amongst the parents as well as their staff. I personally would not recommend this school. I do have a student that attends this school will be looking for other options regarding her education and far as the pervious review regarding the art teacher Mrs. Drayton, I think she is an amazing teacher she is teaching the literacy of art not just allowing the students to draw but also educated on the culture of art, her personality is amazing, and her energy is through the roof but to each its own everyone is entitled to their OPNION.

This school is HORRIBLE!! Coming from a former student here, this school has had more fights and bullying than ever before! The teachers only care about the money and not the students. There are barely any cameras in this school and some kids don't know what common human decency is. The kids in this school have NO COMPASSION and NO HEART. This school is downright bad. 100% don't recommed.

I was told Henry County schools were great schools to attend for your kids. Just know if your child is struggling they will not try to take the time out to help your child understand. The teachers just give assignments and show 1 example and that is it. Dekalb county schools have a lower rating but all of the teachers offer tutoring to help their students. I don't understand why some teachers feel like they don't need to go that extra mile to help there students. Some teachers are just there for checks and need to find another career that they actually want to be in

If you’re considering moving to Hampton, I wouldn’t if I had school-age children. This school is the worst school my child has ever attended. We moved north of Atlanta and my child’s new school has much better leadership and teachers. There is a lot of bullying at this school and teachers play favorites. My child came home crying everyday. Parents are not informed of anything going on at the school and teachers act like it’s an inconvenience to answer an email from a parent. There isn’t a gifted program here, but there is one at my child’s new school. No orchestra here, but there is at my child’s new school. Music and arts don’t matter here. They’re all about sports here. I think the new principal is trying to improve the school, but he can’t do it alone.

Henry County Schools are on a decline over the last few years. Regardless of manufactured test scores or insignificant achievement awards; this school is horrible for the children. The "bully-ing" problem is beyond control and the administration acts blind to it. (This includes repetitive comments on clothing, shoes, electronics, hair, food, sports, ANYTHING!) The constant segregation and harassment endured by my child is ridiculous. He is not the only one either. If the problem is brought to someone's attention it will be your child's fault in the end. Nevermind the fact that the majority of the generation sent to our public schools now are raised by non-disciplining / electronic raising "adults". Somehow it's "OK" to allow our teachers to babysit all day rather than teach. I am very disappointed that the teaching/learning is not to my standards. I am even more upset that the lack of maturity and humanity in the children attending this school is not being addressed properly. The priority should be access the child put in your public school before you ignore them and fabricate learning with no books. Why don't you really listen to the things being said when the kids walk "the circle of love" because you won't let them in a classroom to even sit without a teacher present. If the loud ones are laughing it's probably because another kid is the joke. This was seen some in elementary, now in middle, so I'm sure it's in the high school. Society is a disgrace and the root of the problem is lack of education. Try to sit in the gym or lunchroom with these kids; they have no respect, dignity, or compassion.

This school is good- I like the fact that you are able to find out how your child is doing. The teachers have no problem emailing you about your student. They do not let students pick out there own elective classes. It would better for students to choose there own elective classes that would give them some responsibility. They need more after-school activities, tutoring and a few more sports. Overall I'm satisfied with the education my child is getting at this school.

I'm sorry to say but I think the parents should be more informed of what's going on with their children. There should be more parent-teacher meetings. The front office should be better informed as to what is really going on because I was miss informed about a couple of things at the beginning of the year. There should be better communication between all concerned.
