The school is serious about education. The guidance counselors start in 8th grade directing the kids towards college and don't let up. This is a college prep school without an equal in the area. This area is affluent and the school tends to attract over-achieving children of over-achieving parents thus the reason class rank is not published. I expected this school to be a social mine field for my daughter when she started, but to the contrary the students seem to be of exceptional character. There is very little bullying in fact there is a great deal of effort made to be inclusive of special needs children. racial minorities seem to be fully integrated into the mainstream. Sports and school spirit run high at this school. It's a great school in every sense of the term

While the Educational experience is vey nice with a huge a variety of classes, with a bundle of AP and Honor courses that are most excellently run by Expert teachers, though there are a few bad apples. As said, it's athelitcs Program is excellence as well as the number of clubs and activities available. As well as an excellent Special Needs program. It's Technology Department is world class as well, the Art Department employs many ex-artists for teachers allowing students both real inside knowledge what the art really can mean. Yet, as I have found for the last 3 years at Hinsdale Central, they is high amount of Discrimination for Subcultures, Special Needs kids, Resource Kids, Non-Caucasian and for the poor. As well the students aren't the most mature, and theres alot of sexual themes around the school. It's harrowing exp. esp. since I've been discriminated since the day I came.

The atmosphere in this school is high energy, creative, and the principal is 'in touch' with the times and kids. I am an class of 86 grad, and my kids are now entering. My son loves it so far. They hold a high bar, but its worth reaching for. Hinsdale HS has a great name. The first year of college will be all review, which will let you focus on settling in. Good luck!
