School Reviews

I go to this school, and I can tell you right now Hedgepeth is one of the best schools ever. Hedgepeth may have its ups and downs but overall this school is amazing. The teachers are funny, have amazing stories, they will be hard on you, but that's because they want you to do well. Some students may be harsh, but that's who they are, you can't change them, most of the students are really nice though. This school is one of the best schools for many more reasons. Thank you for taking the time to read this, I hope this review will help your decision on coming to join the family.
