According to HLA's website, there are now a total of 4 teachers, down from 22 a year ago.  1 science teacher, 1 history, 1 math, 1 English.  For grades 8 thru 12.  Does HLA only offer 4 courses now, and how do 4 teachers handle 5 different grades?  Is this still a school?  What the hell are parents and consultants thinking when they send a kid there?

Hmmm. Was it every really about ACADEMICS?  Secondary to 'modifying behavior'. My A/B student came home 5 credits behind his peers and had to attend summer school in order to graduate with his peers.
Has anyone heard what the current enrollment is? Still 50ish?

dunno but when i was there, i took classes with kids in grades above and below me. since different states have different requirements, different kids came in at different levels, even if they were in the same grade. e.g some states make you do geometry, then algebra, some the other way around or they mix the two. so i was a 10th grader, but i was in a geometry class with 9-12 graders. and likewise with english, bio, and spanish. it's a good exuse but unfourtunately it causes alot of very big problems in the classroom. they should have individual teachers for different grades and different classes. but with only four teachers....i bet they got A.C's reading off pre-made lesson plans to classes where they just dont do shit.

This is all HLA has left. Greer Dover left HLA and she was a good English teacher. Now they have the former Drama teacher Foy Tootle teaching Drama. Parents, this is what you are paying $6,000 a month for. What a quality education you are paying out the YING YANG for!!
