Hughesville Junior/Senior High School Reviews

86 reviews

Hughesville high-school excels at nurturing the education of gifted students, but fails to support students who are not so gifted. Administration is deaf to the suggestions of students at times, but overall does a good job of handling threats to the student body. There have been recent attempts by administration to make the learning experience more fulfilling and enjoyable. I am more than satisfied with my teachers and staff at Hughesville.

Hughesville Junior/Senior High School is a small school that prioritizes their sports and arts more than their education itself. The honors classes, however, significantly differ from the average classes and provide a much better system in regards to allowing students to understand material and work through it quickly. Teachers and staff are very interactive with students and build relationships that help them through the year. Additionally, Hughesville recently started new sport programs that students who are typically not involved in any current programs are beginning to get involved in. Unfortunately, by combining both senior and junior high school students, the learning environment is not ideal considering the distractions and noise in the hallways during class time. With that being said, Hughesville Junior/Senior High School is an overall decent school, and with some adjustments, it could be great.

My time at Hughesville was a good experience. I was on several of the sports teams, involved in multiple clubs, and I had to opportunity to take 6 different advanced placement classes. Hughesville is a safe place for students, the teachers care about your well being, and it is an overall great school.

Review Hughesville Junior/Senior High School

I like the kindness and support of the teachers. I'm Autistic but very high functioning. I needed a lot of help in the beginning of my high school career and not one teacher lost their patience with me. They were all so kind and understanding. Some of them went out of their way to help me adjust. Now i'm almost a straight A student taking AP and honors classes due to all of their support. One thing I would like to see my high school do is supply a little more time and help Seniors with College applications and Scholarships.

it was a great school, great teachers. the sports teams might not be the best but they are fun to play on and watch.

The school is great we offer a lyco program to allow people to get a head start in the type of jobs they want. For example you can work in automotive and work on vehicles or you can go with a chef and learn to cook. Or even get a head start as a teacher for younger kids!

I liked HHS, the people were nice and the teaching was good. I do wish that the food was better and some of the equipment was nicer but I understand that costs money. I wish there was more diversity, so more people could fit in.

A small school in a small town. It was a lot nicer to have a lower student to teacher ratios, the school does have plenty of courses to offer taught by great teachers.

Hughesville High School provided me with an excellent education. The teachers and curriculum were excellent. The curriculum was challenging which I loved because it made me work hard and made me also get a little taste of what college will be like.

Hughesville Jr/Sr High School is a nice small school in central Pennsylvania. As with many small schools, there is not a wide variety of options in electives. A decent core studies curriculum is available.

I like the student to teacher relationships that are easily formed and that last through and after your high school careers. I like the small class sizes and I think it allows students to ask questions and be more involved in school. I also like the courses they offer. AP wise, I feel like we have a selection of courses. I do think we need more options when it comes to learning other languages. We have a 4 year Spanish course as the only language offered. The 4 year course is supposed to be at least a 6 year course but we cram it into 4 and so I feel the students have a harder time learning Spanish condensed, but the Spanish teacher does a great job. I like the atmosphere of the small town school. They still have areas that need improvement though, like mental health awareness and creating a better outlet for students to go to when they need mental health help. We learn all about staying away from drugs, but mental health is a subject that more students of our district struggle with.

HHS is an amazing school. The teachers and faculty is amazing and you can go to them whenever you need help

At Hughesville I was very happy to see how much the teachers care about their students. They strive their best to see them achieves their best. If there are school or home problems they are always there to help. I'd like to see the interior become a bit brighter. The Halls are a plain grey and kind of depressing so some student art work and colors would really brighten the place up.

I loved that everyone supported everyone else around them. Everyone is friendly and welcoming at Hughesville and I enjoyed my time there.

My experience at Hughesville Junior/Senior High School was heart warming. I made so many friends, memories, I was connected to the sport of baseball, I tried new things. I really liked how easy people made friends, everybody was trying to get the "new kid" into their friend group so he or she felt welcomed. The only thing I would change about the school is for better food. It wasn't the best and students didn't feel full afterwards.

The teachers are very easy to talk to any most of the students get along very well. Some of the things I'd like to see change is the academics. Kids struggle in some classes because of how hard they are and that they are allowed in them even though they shouldn't be. Some of the classes are too advance, kids are struggling because they get thrown packets and not told how to do it or be taught how to do it.

The experience was like any other high school experience, very average with the occasional highs and occasional lows. There is a lot that I would change: the structure, the organization of certain events, and even some staff.

Review Hughesville Junior/Senior High School

I have been connected to a few teachers over the years. Although, I would change how many resources aren't available to students. It feels my school cares more about their reputation rather than their students.

What I enjoy about my High School year is the positive people I am always around. Teachers are so helpful with moving forward with college. I enjoy the sport I am in I appreciate my coach for pushing me to my highest determination for future and personal achievement. What I would change about my school is the lunch. Most people and I would consider a more fresh and healthier meal. #NoMorePlasticUse #NoMoreFoamUse #EatHealthy. I use also like to see more hands on teaching. I think that will be a huge help for students to enjoy learning and knowing the material my heart. Last but not least all of us student would enjoy a study hall period. Haha well I hope you enjoyed my comment on Hughesville High School. Have a wonderful day :)

excellent education system and the teachers are all great! prepares you well for college. Has great athletic facilities.
