Henderson has a lot of elementry schools. Providing diverse teaching and one on one attention to children at a young age. They have 2 middle school and 1 high school. I feel I recieved adequate education at both. I went to North Middle School then Henderson County High School. The middle school offers advanced courses for those ready to do more than middle school work. The high school offers a tech programs like welding, technition, nursing, animal science, and finance. These programs offer a real world experience. They also have a early graduation program and a dual credit program that allows the student to graduate with a high school diploma and a associates degree from the community college. My brother is in this program and is thriving, he is being challenged and having great success.
Henderson County is a great school, but there are some downs to it. With Henderson being a small town high school even though no one wants to admit it. Mostly everything is about who your mom and dad are, and everyone is so wrapped up with who knows who and who doesn't like who.
I enjoyed the atmosphere at football and basketball games, along with a few kind staff. However, Henderson county schools seem to be understaffed, unorganized, and corrupt. The teachers would daily express their disdain for the school system. The popular and rich students that attended the schools would receive special treatment and wouldn't get into nearly as much trouble as someone else who committed the same offense. Many teachers would also show favoritism for the popular/rich students. Also, on many occasions the school food would come with hairs in them, or be cold when meant to be cooked, etc. In addition, the dress code at Henderson county high school was extremely outdated and conservative. For example, girls aren't allowed to wear shirts with sleeves that don't come down past the shoulder and allowed to wear leggings. However, male students have little rules when it comes to dress code. Henderson county public school system needs to get its priorities in order!
