Homewood High School Reviews
Rating 4.2 out of 5 266 reviews
Academically homewood offers anything you could ask for. Good teachers and extra help easily accessible. Only problem is the counselors don’t do enough 1 on 1 time with students so many are simply oblivious to what programs and classes are available to them. The sports teams are well cared for and our athletic facilities are very up to date. Also, wonderful custodial crew!
Homewood High School has provided me, my sibling, and my peers with incredible opportunities and relationships that can be found in few other places. The band is a massive part of the school's culture and provides belonging and purpose for many. Many students are very high-performing, an attribute that can cause pressure for some.
Homewood is a very welcoming place. Students are usually involved in a wide variety of activities, so it isn't very clique-y. There are also lots of great teachers who take the time to really connect with students. The only real negative thing about the atmosphere is that Homewood really likes to push AP classes, which can lead to students getting stuck in some stressful situations. Overall, I've been happy with my time here!
