(1 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - I've attended Huffman High for two years and I think that it's one the worst schools I have ever attended. The reason why I feel this way is because it's in horrible condition. There are no updates in anything. They are very unorganized. There is a breakdown in communication within the faculty. Some of their conduct is very unprofessional. The students conduct is horrible, they may be the reason why the faculty are the way they are.

(2 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - I think that the school is a dump. The teachers play around more than the children. Some of them get mad when you need help because they expect you to get it right away. some of the teachers show favoritism. The teachers gossip more than the children.
