Haywood County Schools Reviews

Haywood County Schools lacks in funds and it's underpaid teachers, who are trying their best, are stretched far too thin and are unable to help their students in the way that they want to. Majority of teachers and administrators have the best of intentions but are held back by the common core as well as the constant standardized tests that take away from instructional time. Textbooks, desks, and even projector remotes are in short supply making it difficult for teachers to do their job.

Over all I have had a wonderful experience with Haywood Community College. Haywood's campus is beautiful surrounded with nature, staff does a very good job at answering and types of questions you have, Teachers do there best to give you one on one help, and there are many tutoring opportunities; even proof reading help for essays during certain times throughout the week (which is very helpful to me!!!). I have never felt like I am completely on my own or alone at HCC. This College makes me feel welcome!
The staffing is mostly helpful, but like any other human, they are flawed. Not everything is professional, and it is hard to relay information. The schools are fairly clean, yet there are minor exceptions. The diversity is not strong, but everyone is welcomed. Sports are the highlight of the school, especially football. The food is definitely unhealthy. Parents are somewhat involved as well. I do not think that they prepared me for college, though.
