Rating 4.24 out of 5 83 reviews
This comfortable school has lovely teachers, facilities, sports, and spirit. For some reason, the school's most tough, time-consuming subject is English. Some of the teachers teach it in an excellent creative and analytical manner while others make it extremely hard and tie it to unwanted leftist, woke ideology like in the senior course (Critical Race Theory, Queer Theory, Feminist Theory, Gender Studies, Marxist/Leninist Theory), drawing attention away from higher pursuit in useful subjects. Students spend so much time on "English" to keep their grade up that a lot end up majoring in similar topics in college, because they are unable to compete with top students in business, law, medicine, and technology. If the English taught more grammar/reading comprehension/inference in a rigorous way, students would be better prepared for the SAT/ACT and graduate free from woke ideology. Only 5-7% of the class went to the Ivy League, Stanford, and Duke without a hook.
Hackley is a school with access to resources, but it sometimes seems as though those resources are allocated to the wrong things. For example, the quality of the food is often questioned. The academics are solid, particularly in the humanities. There is a wide spectrum of kinds of students at Hackley: some students are wildly devoted to academics, while others seem less interested. One thing is for sure: graduating students frequently mention how well Hackley prepared them for their college experience.
Hackley is a white cisgender heterosexual haven, they care little about oppressive issues and are very performative with their activism.
