Terrible School!
If you want to destroy your child put them in this high school. The bullying is so bad and it doesn’t even help taking it up with the school, their own teachers are bullying the children. It is a disgrace!

No Place for ADHD student
ADHD children get left behind and is seen as disruptive and a bad seed. The department heads ignore physiology report and do not share it with all the subject teachers. Please do not send your child with ADHD to Zwartkop they will be left behind. I had to go trough a legal battle of R50 000 (educational advocate and lawyer costs) to get my child not repeat grade 11 and got a permission letter from litigation lawyers from the DOE to write adult matric in June 2025 for not being being 21. Clearly...

10 / 10 school
Everything a child and parent could expect from a school. Sky high academic standard, with culture and sport on a top level. The atmosphere in the school, between learners and personnel is calm and happy with respect for everyone else. I had 3 children through the school, boy and girls, very different from each other, and everybody was very happy. I love that school!

No discipline or rules
There is no discipline or rules in the school. Children are disrespectful and entitled. They take video’s and photographs of the student teachers and other teachers as well. You cannot even have a discussion with the learners about their disrespect without them crying on purpose. There is no discipline and they are allowed to break the school down and yet, the teachers are in the wrong? Would not recommend this school at all. No school would survive without rules and discipline. This is very bad...

AcademicCatastrophe
If you want a reason to overwhelm yourself and change your school loving self into a school hating mentally unstable anxiety pill junkie then this is the place. The schools vision and goals are pleasant but the paths to get to the goals are questionable. Crowded and overloaded places obviously lead to unexpected problems, just look at prisons- Old classes are used for more pupils instead of tearing then down when new ones are built. The headmaster is usually trying his best hiring but yet some lazy, verbally abusive awful teachers pop up who don't give a shit. About 68% of the teachers aren't willing to do their proper teacher duties and seem like they are only there to bully children, couldn't get the job they want or are more childish and gossipy than some cliques. If you want to choose on sport or drama ect. this is the school but academicly you would learn more sitting on your ass and studying a field yourself instead of wasting your time here.

trashy school
this school honestly sucks , they treat the students so poorly . i would honestly not recommend it for kids . you get bullied all the time even fights where the kids hit eachother at break time and go to school the next day with blue eyes do not let your child suffer thats why i am home schooling next year !

The teachers are bullies who grade work unfairly
Not the best school. Unless you are a teachers pet you are mostly treated poorly. People with mental health issues aren't excepted at all. My friend who has ADHD and self worth issues my art teacher told him to lay on hisarms as no one wants to see his face. My art work is being graded unfairly because I made a teacher aware of spinach in her teeth. For some this is a great school for others not so much. All I am saying is if your kids are more quiet or drawn back I wouldn't recommend this school they will disapear in the system. Alot of slut shaming going around towards people who really don't deserve it

Excellent, fantastic, amazing, wonderful School
Zwartkop is the best school that I know of. They have a great Zwarrie-vibe. As a matriculant at this school I am very sad to leave. The teachers are so kind. The headmaster is the absolute best headmaster in the whole world. He cares so deeply about his school children. He makes you feel like you are his own child. He has a very warm heart and I respect that man deeply. They have so many activities to take part in. They make you feel so welcome. All their traditions are heart warming. During lockdown they really came through for us. I love this school with all my heart and I am sad to let it go. Once a Zwarrie always a Zwarrie! I love you Hoërskool Zwartkop! You will always have a special place in my heart ❤️

A good place to be.
Hoërskool Zwartkop has become a sort of professional educational centre with very high standards when it comes to their personel and study material. The school itself is neat and offers a variety of sports and facilities to support these sports. Discipline and respect among the students and educators is ensured by a student friendly environment provided by the school management.

How the school really is.
The school honestly sucks , there are some good teachers at this school but most of them are rude and disrespectful to the students. I would not recommend this school.

All rounded school, the best
A well rounded high school where every child has the opportunity to shine. Sports and culture activities, along with other extra curricular activities had their place in the school. Academically the school is one of the best and praise is always given where praise is needed. An amazing, caring and active principle, attending all activities even during holidays or weekends.
