Great school!! The faculty are motivated and push students to excel.

I have 2 kids at HDES, and have been a parent there for 5 years. The teachers at the school are happy and enjoy their jobs. You can see that in their interactions with the students. Most of them use flexible seating, and are flexible with students with different learning styles. The kids are kind to one another and adults. The leadership is strong, but flexible in allowing teachers freedom to make choices for their students.

It's a fancy school with strong PTA funding. Not so much for true learning inside the classrooms. Do not get impressed by report cards. Parents are focused on their children in good neighborhood schools. There's very less effort put in by the teachers. There's a lot of focus on tech nowadays and effort is to improve device ratio. As a result, more screen time and minimal paperback books and pushing pencils on paper. If you just want a happy kid who loves to socialize and not so much worried about actual learning, this school is for you but if you want your child to perform and be motivated and appreciated for his intelligence and effort, find some other school. Most reviews here and on other websites are a part of manipulating the image of the school. It's an average school for average expectations. Take your pick!
