The school has a large campus with lots of extracurricular activities and electives to choose from, which really allows you to explore your interests and make new friends. There are lots of AP and honor classes which have very nice and experienced teachers who want everyone to thrive. Unfortunately there is not a lot of diversity which can cause tension with teachers and students but students always will stand up for one another. The school tries it's hardest to make sure everyone has a safe and accepting environment. The school is pretty good with a few downsides that do not affect learning.
Overall Nathan Hale was a good school. Our principle was very involved with even the arts programs and that is something that means a lot to the students. The teachers were very personable and cared about their students. The couple of things I would change are about how students who misbehave are treated and the way the dress code policy is enforced. Students who misbehave are not always treated the same as their peers who do the same things as them. Everyone should be reprimanded equally and not given special privileges based on who they are. The dress code policy is enforced for girls wearing tank tops, but boys who wear a “sheet toga” without a shirt on under are high-fived by the male teachers. There is a difference between shoulders and a boy’s chest with his nipples out. All in all, this is a generally good school with a few discrimination issues, but I would recommend it for anyone living in the area.
Excellent music program. Great AP teachers. Principal is extremely involved with all school events. Because of covid there was virtual school and I was extremely impressed with how well the teachers adapted to the new style of teaching. There needs to be more computer science options though. Also, the athletic clubs get ignored. Sports is always the main focus.
