Henderson County School District Reviews

2 reviews
The Henderson County School District is a well run district. They have buses that pass through most of the district, some traveling to the farthest reaches to pick up and drop of students. The district is rich in culture with such a diverse population of students. Their academics are well taught and by very intelligent, creative teachers. The only real problem that I have faced with Henderson County is that there is a large focus on sports, but not on the arts. The arts program is practically non-existent in this district and that is doing the children a great disservice. An arts program will help students focus more in their schoolwork, think more creatively for tests, and overall make them a more well-rounded individual. That is pretty much the only complaint I have for this school district.
