Hopewell Valley Central High School Reviews
Rating 4.05 out of 5 191 reviews
I love HVCHS! There are so many different courses to take, from AP and honors everything to woodshop, autoshop, dance, ceramics, and TV/video production. Everyone is able to be involved in something, whether its a music group, a sports team, one of the million clubs they offer, or the service learning pathway. The staff really cares about the students, and administration is always trying new things to support everyone, like the Student Wellness Center or the Black & Gold Cup competition. It's just a great place to be, and anyone who doesn't appreciate it hasn't been in the real world to see how much better it is than every other high school.
Hopewell is a very very stick to it RICH "white" town. I am not exaggerating when I say there were 3 African American students who graduated in my class with me. I wish so badly there was more diversity. The teachers are awesome, most of them anyways :) They have a random drug testing policy where if you want to park at school or do after school activities you have to sign the waiver and they'll call you down at random to do a drug test in the nurse's office. other than all that, Hopewell is full of talented people. Most people end up going to some prestigious school because their families are fortunate enough to afford it. I am one of like 10 people going to community college. HS was just meh!
I have enjoyed my four years at Hopewell! There are loads of great electives and courses in general to take and for the most part, taught by great teachers! There are some fun events that I always enjoy like the pep rallys! Recitation is a really great opportunity to meet with teachers and take a chill pill every day. There are tons of great clubs to join and the sports are really fun!
