There are very good teachers and some are not so good. People in the front office in Fayetteville could improve their customer service skills. The academics are pretty good, it is not boring like it used to be in public schools. There are good clubs, there are clubs that are not as well organized. The uniforms are expensive but many students donate gently used items for those who cannot afford to buy them.

I would just point out that this school has few extracurriculars, poor diversity, and doesn't serve disabled students. All schools in the area have their flaws, but only recently did Haas Hall take an active approach to ensure that their "lottery" was indeed a lottery. They are well known for cherry-picking students. Essentially, it's a public charter school that has little interest in serving the public. But, I have known many students that enjoyed their time there, went to exceptional schools afterward, and escaped from bullying at previous schools. The graduation rate is phenomenal, and there is no denying the academic excellence of the students who are given the chance to graduate. It is not for all students--and they will make that clear to you, even if they won't say it. But, if your child is a good fit, of course, weigh your options and make the best choice for them.

Haas Hall is an amazing school that I never want to leave. I have learned so much in everything. While it is a math and science school it also taught me a lot in other subjects. It is mostly mostly about academics but it also has many sports teams, such a s tennis, swimming, and much more. It also does not have too many students so it does not feel over crowded, Haas Hall has truly earned being named the best school in the state and it has earned it's place in my heart.

This school specializes in math and science and prepares scholars for for education beyond high school. Although the school specializes in math and science, it does not lack in other subjects. Haas Hall has a variety of Advanced Placement Courses instructed by very qualified teachers that more than often teach above curriculum requirement. The environment is comfortable and friendly, yet driven; there is a zero bullying and/or hazing tolerance policy, but even without the policy, both scholars and teachers agree that they would support and assist with actions against bullying and/or hazing. The teacher/student ratio is small (1/15*)** (and if above an aid is usually necessary and available), this makes the relationship between the scholar and teacher personal, so the scholar s learning experience and cognitive development is above expectations. The teachers are involved in making a scholar's learning environment positive and they take great care in ensuring academic success. There is a variety of student-lead extra-curricular activitues sponsored by teachers for scholars to be a part of after school. *not a concrete estimate **ratio changes from class to class

This school changed my life. I mean literally changed my life. I went there in 8th grade before I moved to Oklahoma. The student body is amazing, I hung out with all age groups, even seniors. This school compares to no other in the nation, I believe every good kid needs this school. Also Haas Hall is in the top 1% in the nation and test scores are absolutely amazing! The staff is also absolutely amazing and I was always learning something no matter what! The leadership in this school is perfect, they were always there for me and helped me out! If your kid is advanced in school, send them here, you will not regret it!

Best school in Arkansas period! If you are looking for a school that actually cares about its students, then Haas Hall Academy is for you! The teachers are supportive and are driven to prepare you for college. Dr. Schoppermeyer has created a masterpiece of a school for scholars to succeed.

My daughter went to this school in 8th grade, but transferred to Bentonville High School for 9th. Academically it is very strong in terms of math and science. She finished Geometry, Algebra II, and Biology in 8th grade. The teachers are a mixed bag; be prepared to tutor. The nonscience courses are scamped; Spanish wasn't offered to the eighth graders, and the humanities got short shrift. Of note, Haas Hall does cherry pick. Although entrance is lottery based, if you are doing badly, your parent will be forced to come to school once a week during business hours, to confer with your teachers. You two will stand in "The Hall of Shame" in full view of all your friends while waiting for this privilege. EVERYone will know. If you are a weak student or a parent with a tight schedule, this may be a problem. Do badly in the finals in the EOC exam courses, and you will be encouraged to transfer out BEFORE the end of the year exams, lest you screw up the stats. Nevertheless, I loved the school. The kid didn't. Her dislike of the school - to which she invariably referred by aspirating the "H" in "Haas" - was why we let her transfer to Bentonville for 9th grade.

I feel very lucky to have 2 children who are scholars at Haas. It is an amazing school, and my girls are very happy attending there.

We have two scholars who are fortunate enough to attend Haas Hall Academy. The positive academic environment paired with a caring staff has made the difference in our children. We can t say enough good things about Haas Hall Academy. The academic environment is such that all scholars are given the opportunity to excel. Our children are challenged daily by an impressive faculty with credentials only seen in prestigious east coast private schools. The curriculum is challenging and truly is college prep. One of our children s ACT scores went from the mid-20s to the upper 30s in one calendar year. There is a long waiting list, but I encourage everyone to pre-enroll. Haas Hall Academy is the buzz all over NWA and we are proud to be part of such an excellent school with a stellar academic reputation.

My husband and I have two scholars who attend Haas Hall Academy. Haas Hall Academy has turned their lives around both academically and socially. Our children thrive in the accelerated learning environment and they are around other scholars who take school seriously. They have made friends with some exceptional people and I have made life-long friends with many parents as well. The leadership and faculty at Haas Hall Academy are second to none. Our children are expected to perform, encouraged to embrace the love of learning and most importantly there is accountability for them each and every day. We are blessed to have Haas Hall Academy in NWA.

Haas Hall Academy is the best school in the state of Arkansas. Their test scores are consistently number one in the state in every category grades 8-12. 100% of scholars are accepted into college. If you can't cut the work and need to go back to a traditional school, don't bash the school because you weren't properly prepared to be successful.

I have had 2 kids attend this school. The school is improving every year and the focus is on academics and personal attention. My somewhat nerdy son really blossomed there and made great friends and did well academically. The environment is nurturing and safe. Academics vary a bit as the school grows, but every year is better than the previous one as excellent teachers remain and weak ones are replaced. I highly recommend it over the large, anonymous, intimidating public school in town.
