Hinsdale South High School

Posted September 5, 2009

HInsdale South is impressive. It is not too big as some of the other mammoth schools. It has a super friendly faculty and has great extracurricular activities. Overall I have a great feeling about the school and its academic curriculum. It's a great school for kids to grow in.

Hinsdale South is an excellent school for all types of ability levels, in academics, athletics, and extracurriculars. As a current freshman, I know that Hinsdale South truly does all it can to welcome new students to explore their options. There are over fifty clubs and many sports (which are both cut and not) that allow many people to participate. I am currently on the track and cross country teams, and am in six clubs. The opportunities are endless. Also, Hinsdale South offers many Honors courses, which are both challenging and exciting. However, there is a huge gap between honors and regular classes. At the beginning of the year, I was in all honors except for one, and realized that the classroom feel was MUCH different between classes, which led me to move up to honors. However, for the honors courses are wonderful, and I would definitely recommend them. Go Hornets!!!

Overall, this is a good school. It has a good band, art, and sport programs. It also has many extracurricular activities. It is topped of with a serious dramam program. It has a great amount of AP and Honors classes ranking it one of the best in Illinois. There is at least 2 fights every week. That brings down the school's overall image and it should be stopped.

The other daughter attended Benet Academy for a little over one year, and needed to be where more of her friends had gone which was Hinsdale South. Her Latin Insructor, Mr. Tripp, and other teachers were better for her than some of the instructors at Benet Academy. Soon after she arrived she was tested in several subjects and was placed in Honors classes. She thrived at Hinsalde South with her realization that she needed to do well and she did very well. She continues to do similar extra curricular activities that she did in high school and has also branched out to other challenging roles; president or vice president of a club, advertising/media chair, volunteering, newspaper reporter, radio broadcaster, and has founded new groups with the help of college professors and staff. There still is room for some improvement as always.
