Horseshoe Bend has the potential to be a good school; however, they have serious organizational and administration issues.

I liked the atmosphere of Horseshoe Bend. It wasn't too crowded and the people there are nice. I learned a good amount in science and history. The athletics are really competitive and I like it that way.

I went to school at Horseshoe Bend High School from kindergarten to graduating high school. The best thing about horseshoe bend is how everyone is family. No matter what someone always has your back.

Review Horseshoe Bend High School

Great Teachers and Educators and, they are always willing to help in any way possible. I really enjoyed being a teachers aide and, being able to help the school and teachers out in any way possible. I had a really great experience going to school here and, I made some of the best friends and I met some of the best teachers of my life here.

My experience at Horseshoe Bend was a positive one and one of growth, to say the least. I learned lots of things there and made friends and connections with people that will stick with me throughout life.

What I would change about the school is, the system itself. The dress code, the student interaction, the staff's interaction with each other, and reorganize the students' curriculum (especially elementary).

I would like to see Horseshoe Bend High School prepare their students for college by offering ACT/SAT prep courses. Other schools in the State of Alabama prepare their students for success with these prep courses. Other than that, Horseshoe Bend is a great school. We have teacher and parent support above all others. Our small community is able to accomplish great things with their support. I have opportunities larger schools can't offer by having one on one interaction with my teachers, an abundance of after school activities, and community service involvement. I love my school and I'm eager to see how my school will continue to grow and provide even more service to my community.

I would change a lot of things within this school. The teachers do not actually teach. They would rather talk about other students in school, which is highly unprofessional. They also do not have opportunities for the students there. The only nice thing about the school is that it is a small town school.

Horseshoe Bend is a great school that involves the community through many clubs. The only thing I would love to see change is an equal amount of funds for all clubs, sports, cheer, band, and adding new clubs within the school. Horseshoe Bend High School has great faculty and safety for the protection of the students, visitors, teachers and staff. The teachers there go out of their way to insure a child who might not get what goes on in class gets it. The teachers have after school help, in class help , and they try their best to always be available for any student or parent who has questions.

Horseshoe Bend is a small K-12 school in the rural town of Newsite, Al. The faculty is great with having 101 time with the students and provide a great learning experience. My connection with the teachers and students felt more like family than just being in a regular school system. Because Horseshoe Bend is in a smaller location, everyone knows each other and will support each other whenever there is trouble. However, there are some minor errors in communication and acknowledgement of upcoming events. Scheduling and planning for school events can be complicated due to busy schedules for the teachers and club organizations. Students fall behind in class and risk in having lower grades.

I started Horseshoe Bend in the 8th grade. It was such a change from my former school. Everyone at HBHS is a family. This is the best thing about our small town/school. Being apart of this school is so great and I can’t wait to finish my senior year here!

I went to this school from kindergarten until graduation and I loved it! I’d love to see the food better but the atmosphere is amazing!

I like the extracurricular activities. I like that the students are friendly and will help you with what you need. I would like the change to be more fun activities for the elementary side to get to know and learn.

We are a very close community and care deeply about each others well being and personal problems. We have some issues with our highschool counsellor and Principal. We have very good and caring teachers for the most part. There are some who don't teach very well and aren't eager to help with educational problems but we can usually find other teachers who will help us in any way they can.

My experience at Horseshoe Bend High School has been an experience I will never forget. This school has gave me soo many memories and life lessons that I will carry with me through my whole life.!

I like the teachers and how small the student to teacher ratios are. We have many opportunities and it is a positive atmosphere.

I absolutely love my high school and thoroughly enjoyed the years I spent there. The teachers are fully dedicated to advancing students in the right direction. The administration creates a safe learning environment for K-12 students. Overall, Horseshoe Bend High School is an excellent county school!

At this is school we take security very seriously. We do our drills at least once a month and we also have drug searches every 3 months. We also have a nurse that is also always on duty.

Review Horseshoe Bend High School

We have many options on extracurricular opportunities such as cheerleading, baseball, football, softball, volleyball, basketball, scholars bowl, FFA, FCCLA, FCLA, Journalism, News team, and Sr. & Jr. Beta Club.

I have been at this school for 13 years and I've loved every minute of it. Being in a small school is awesome because you get to know each an every teacher and they all encourage you to do your best in everything you do.

The teachers are so great to the students here. Most of them Tudor during their free period or even after school to help a struggling student.
