Hempfield Area High School

"While I attended this school I struggled with home issues and person issues as well. And at first, I would get upset that it seemed that things weren't always done to help me. But I now know that teachers and staff are limited on the things they can directly to to help a student. It isn't their faults. It's just how the system is and I myself wish I could help make things different. Instead of getting upset with a teacher or staff at a school on what they aren't doing, try and find out what they're allowed to do first. Because a teacher isn't even allowed to give a student detention without submitting a form to the school principal(s)."

"Overall good high school experience. A handful of teachers are literally the worst and do not prepare you for life after high school. I will spare you their names, but they know who they are. More funding towards the technology programs would be beneficial. The school itself definitely needs an upgrade. When I attended here we graduated 500-600 kids a year and now I hear they struggle to graduate 400."

"This place is very disgusting, the food serving and restroom conditions are almost forgivable, but combined with the black mold and constant fear of survival does not even deserve this single, lone star. I, as an experienced student, and concerned parent, would not send my child into these conditions. The teachers and learning material barely scratch sub-par and the girls in the school will insure your child, regardless of gender, will graduate with combined diseases of HIV, Hepatitis B, etc. And the mental-state of a broccoli."

"When I went to this school the principals didn't belong in their position. The staff was rude and didn't help me when I got bullied. They had a rule book and didn't follow it. Then when I dressed according to the rules they said it was against the rules. I wouldn't work or go back to this school."
