I have been very pleased with the high school and all of the administrators and teachers I have encountered thus far. My daughter has some special needs and they have done a great job of accommodating her needs. I really sense her teachers care and their expectations for the students requirements and behaviors are clear.
Huntsville High School is definitely a great school. The counselors are willing to help, if only you are willing to ask for it. The teachers are good maybe not great. Mrs. Dotts, an English teacher, is amazing and is very passionate about teaching. So is Mrs. Blocker, a History teacher, she is one of the toughest teachers at the school, but trust me she is passionate and knows what she is doing. The classroom sizes are somewhat big (30 or more in some). Of course there will always be cliques in schools that's just how it is, but most kids are friendly enough. Also, the athletics are really good, though I never involved myself in any of them. The volleyball team won state for the 6th time in a row I believe. Overall, a very good school

This school failed us miserably. I've felt the censure of the educators toward us as parents as well as my son. They took no responsibility for our son's failure, it was all his lack of effort. Concluded that everday I sent him to this school emphasized his weaknesses instead of his incredible strengths and out of the box intelligence. He was struggling with anxiety and gravitating to students with behavior and drug issues. We reacted strongly and pulled him out to homeschool. It has made a TREMENDOUS difference. Now we focus on his strengths and abilities. His anxiety is gone. Confidence returning and he now talks about the possibilities of his future. If you have a different kind of learner (ADHD) don't even try - they have no clue. Take charge yourself and see success.

HHS has a lot to offer and there are some excellent teachers. As in most things in life, students get out of it about what they are willing to put into it. Overall, it is a good school. And kids have a wide variety of sports, clubs and extra curricular activities in which to be involved -- which I believe keeps them out of trouble.
