i think this school is great..it has improved a lot from what i heard about it before. i just think that some teachers need to start teaching if they want us to pass. you can't pass and algebra 1 honors class by just doing the guided practices and writing the notes yourself. A teacher needs to explain it to you in order for you to get better at it. My last year teacher at Driftwood Middle was great and she explains everything and i had a 101% in her class. i've never had lower than an A in math but this year my teacher is not teaching anything and he's expecting us to finish that math book by december. what's the point if we're not learning anything?

I am an alumni of Hollywood Hills and it really saddens me to hear the comments made about my school. I pray that someone from administrations takes a really good look at these posted comments and do something about it. Hollywood Hills was a great school with a big heart and a lot of pride. GO SPARTANS!

Hollywood hills high school is by far the WORST school my son has been to. Advisory is just the most RIDICULOUS thought I have ever heard of! The school lacks appearance and the repeating THREATS to the school are just horrible. My child showed me the horrible classes they upperclassmen have to learn in it is so UNSANITARY and has ants on dirty covered floors! The new building is only for the freshmen and it lacks decoration! My child does indeed feel UNSAFE in this horrid school! This school is by far the most UNSAFE, HORRIBLE APPEARANCE, CHEAP school ever I as a parent would never make the mistake EVER again I recommend SOUTH BROWARD OR NOVA! Thank you for the time you all have given me.
