Nearly all the teachers are excellent and caring! Everything is in relativity good condition. The programs here for clubs, arts, performance, sports, are all great. There is something for everyone. The counselors really care about you and will meet with you anytime to make sure you have everything you need and are ready to go to the next stage. The 4-academy program here at Hardin valley can potentially even give you experience on the field!
Hardin valley academy overall was a great experience, lots of people and great administrators! They teach you all you need to know and make sure you are ready for college. The athletics are great except I wrestle and the school didn’t donate anything to wrestling like they did to basketball and football which is ridiculous, but even in sports the coaches treat the others with respect and love.
Harden valley academy has a fantastic sense of community and well behaved student body. Overall the atmosphere is accepting, and easy to live within, despite its problems. Furthermore, it has been running over capacity the entirety of my student career, and is likely to continue growing. The neighborhoods around it are booming, which has led to severe population growth within the school and oddly large class sizes.
Overall, Hardin Valley is fantastic, however, until the overpopulation is dealt with, it is difficult to receive personalized instruction or the avid attention some students need.
Continually, our sports are average at best, and what were amazing resources only ten years ago, has become slightly lackluster due, again, to overpopulation. The school was built to be the best.
Really, if choosing between schools in the area, Farragut is chosen for academics or athletics, Oak Ridge for Arts and music, and Hardin Valley for the people there and the sense of community.
