The principal and VP are also very into what they do and run the school well. They have pride in what they have succeeded in and the kids are motivated by the many awards HBMS has already earned. It is the perfect school to send your kids to.”

“HBMS is by far the worst school I've ever attended. While I'm not a parent, I do know the school very well. I've been a student for two years. The teachers don't seem to know what they're doing, and spend the majority of class time showing off their emotional problems or letting the class watch TV. The work that is rarely assigned is never graded. Any parents that are reading this, please don't send your child here. While some people will think I'm being harsh, I'm only being honest.”

“I think HBMS is a great school! The teachers are energetic and the principal and vice principals are very enthusiastic and try to get the students involed in many activities. The deans are very good, I have heard, hear both sides of the stories regardless of what the referral states. The students are very determined to learn and that makes HBMS great!”
