"Hales need to close its doors. The academics in the school is rediculous. More than half of the students had to complete summer school in 2010 in multiple subjects. The host school for summer school wants to close their doors to Hales students in the summer because Hales is failing to educate their own students during the school year but is receiving the tuition."

"My son is a Senior at Hales and I can say without any hesitation that I would NOT reccommend this school to ANY parent. II bought into the IDEA of Hales. A school started for the sole purpose of educating and developing young black men.This summer 60 of 166 students had to attend summer school, 38% of our students had more then 2 F's on they're semester grade. Students are being moved to the next grade with less then a 2.0 GPA. Last year the recently terminated then rehired Principle stated that, 100% of the class of 2009 was accepted into a university or college, but only 30% went back for they're second year. Wow.There have been assults on teachers and students are cutting classes at a closed campus school. Whatever Hales was ment to be, it is not"

"As I attended the Class of 2009 graduation ceremony I was impressed by the ratio of students to teachers at Hales. I remember when I was a student there from 1964-1967 the student body was much larger. I thought back in those days that Hales was a small shool and therefore able to give a lot of individual attention to students. This was true then and is even more so now. My cousin who was a graduate this year stands as proof positive that Hales still puts out first class men. I am proud of my alma mater. I am proud to be a Spartan. Nate Jones"

"As the wife of a 1979 graduate of Hales, the parent of a 2002 graduate, as well as two current students, I am extremely pleased with the education that my sons have and currently are receiving at Hales. My older son has completed college, gained employment and is working to acheive his career goals. My husband attributes much of his academic and career success to the education and support that he received at Hales. Hales continues to thrive under new leadership and increased donor support. The teachers and principal are 100% dedicated to providing our young men with the tools they need to succeed as educated leaders in the African American community and the world!!!!! Simply put, the emphasis on academic acheivement and environment of unconditional support at Hales brings out the best in these young men."
