Middle school information night is on October 25.

A 2e kiddo could do well at HB as classes are small and they do a good job with scaffolding skills and encouraging independence.
When my kiddo got in from her neighborhood school there was only 1 spot allocated to students from outside of APS. They will give you a chance to visit before you decide to take the spot or not - in fact, it was required for my daughter to visit before she committed.
