[quote][b]I dislike the lack of parking and the dropoff/pickup zone. I'm not a huge fan of the building with all those stairs, even though it's a very nice new building.[/b] The school doesn't really teach organizational skills so a student who lacks those may struggle. The school allows kids to have their phones with them during the school day and I don't love that at all.

I LOVE the climate of the school- small, friendly, accepting. Teachers are mostly very good to good with some not-so-good too. But overall most are very invested in students. Kids don't get lost at HB because it's small. And the teachers are more flexible with letting kids choose what type of assignments to do and seem to try to focus on project-based learning. Homework isn't excessive, seems less compared to some other APS schools.

I think self motivated kids do well at HB as well as kids who are organized. Culture is accepting and there are kids of all stripes in different social groups but not really cliques if that makes sense. If your kid requires a lot of structure, this isn't the place for them. For the right student, they can just thrive at HB.

The first thing you talk about is the parking and what the building looks like? Is this the most important thing about a school? :roll: [/quote]
