Houston County High School Reviews
Rating 3.4 out of 5 60 reviews
Houston County High School is the rare rural school that genuinely tries to assist its students in any way possible. The school, despite its small size, hosts dozens of clubs and sports, has teachers that care for their students, and has a community surrounding it that supports it. It needs more funding in some areas, but all schools struggle with those problems; HCHS knows how to overcome it.
Houston County High School really cares about the students well being. They have fun activities and classes that fully emerge the students into, and there is never a dull moment. The environment is friendly and we even get rewarded on holidays by getting to do fun things and sometimes even walking through the school getting candy for Halloween or Christmas.
Great learning environment, nice teachers, and a very welcoming place. Everyone is friendly and will always lend a helping hand.
I went to another school for my first three years of High School that was in the heart of a big city and had over 3,000 students. Moving to Houston County was a huge culture shock for me. Integrating into the school was difficult, everyone having already known each other for years. The people were somewhat welcoming, but ultimately my least favorite year of high school was my senior year.
Overall, my high school experience has been great. Some of the best things to happen to me have been through the band program. A lot of the teachers focus on you personally to try and get you where you need to be to accomplish your goals.
Houston County High School is a great community and all around school. They have wonderful teachers but the kids are a handful. I work with the CDC kids and I go around the school with them, but some of the things people say to them are just uncalled for. They are so mean , I think they need to control bullying better.
HCHS is a small school, so there is not much diversity and fewer resources than would accompany a larger school in a more urban area, but there is a family-like atmosphere and good opportunity for success. I've enjoyed my time here.
HCHS{Erin, Tn.} do not follow any kind of laws well the fact of the matter is neither does this County. They make their own. I will not stop until the "right justice" is found and done. I will NOT EVER GIVE UP. They deserve NO STARS but I had to give 1. See, "WRONG" Oh I did give 5 stars for parent involvement...now to me this means not kissing booty or who's most popular but to those parents who are like me those are for you.
I liked the school being small and not having to deal with problems at other big schools like having two stories, or a butt load of drama and everyone knows everyone which is usually good but sometimes not so good. I would change walking time, mandatory "healthy" eating, and 30-minute time altogether. I don't see a point in any of the above.
Not many after school activities provided
Im not sure if I would go to this school again if I could. We aren't updated in many areas. Nothing is taken too seriously
They provide us with the standards given and it's strictly based on that.
The school is a great place. The school has a great environment
I think the safety at this school is still above average because of its size. The bullying policy is about average. It isn't a huge problem.
There are limited clubs and organizations but they are growing and the staff are very involved.
I would choose this school again because it was great to be a small school and know everyone that was in your graduating class.
I believe the majority of the teachers are qualified teachers in their fields and most of them go the extra mile to help if needed.
