Hyde Park High School

The principal of this school must take this school serious every time they have a vacancies for teachers how are the kids going to pass. Bullying in this school is beyond kids vaping in the classroom on spot day girls come naked and dinking alcohol at school now we are waiting the passing rate it is not posted in their Facebook page .. i regret to take my child in this school .

I was a former student of Hyde Park,I finished my school career in 2023 finishing matric there. Overall I had a splendid school experience. In the beginning of my school career there was it's problems however that was because of s certain group of students. Every school has their students who are disrespectful,who have a bad reputation but I didn't allow those things to stop me from enjoying my school career. I had teachers around me who had helped me,coaches who had supported me not because I was favored but because I prioritised creating a space for myself to enjoy by surrounding myself with amazing people. Obviously there were teachers who were not the best however yet again I did not allow that to stop me from enjoying my High school career. I would in fact recommend this school, it pushed me to become my best self. Over the five years I eventually gained 5 leadership roles, 4 awards and 3 colour's. Not because it was rainbows and roses but because it allowed me and taught me valuable lessons.

This school is terrible, the teachers here don't teach learners , other teachers grade learners based on how much they like them, then others encourage students to fight with each other, the entire school is run by a tiny gang of kids that constantly terrorize other learners by threatening to beat them up and the school knows of this but has done Nothing!!, The environment is toxic the classes look abandoned , there's been multiple reported drug markets and vape markets in the school but even so the school refuses to take action and expel the students that are damaging the school, this school is horrendous and I hope no parent makes the mistake of submitting their child here, parents in the school pay alot of money to this school for a proper education but this school is failing in multiple ways, I don't recommend it.

if i could this school zero stars i would teachers are lazy and rude one of my maths teacher rather seats all day on Hollywood bet then teach us . students are crazy. lots of smoking , vaping and drug consumption. instead of chowing books they chow each other .the principle is lazy af. the vice principle is AT LEAST trying.they care more about your hair being tie up then your actual education the only thing they are riding on is the IEB even that is bums.

THIS SCHOOL..THE LEARNERS,IT ALL CHANGES YOU I and many upon arrival at Hyde park in grade 8 were innocent children who enjoyed life as normal kids and enjoyed school and fun activities… But you don’t stay like that for long,oftently most learners start changing around grade 9 -10 that good,kind innocent boy/girl who was first excited to come to the school falls into a dark pit that’s hard to crawl out. I definitely know what I’m talking about because I too have been a victim of peer pressure.it starts with the first pull in the toilets which you don’t like at first until you try it again and by the third time it’s already a habit(vaping)the biggest problem in the school students casually vape in class while the teacher is distracted it’s become a casual thing it feels normal at this point Vaping devices are being passed to each other on corridors,in classes (oftenly when a learner says that they want to take something from their friend in a class and the teacher allows them it’s 10/10 a vape that they are either asking for or returning.90% of learners vape in the school it’s a sad reality Weed is also another big problem..there’s a place outside the school with a bustop called 9th rd it’s notorious for weed smokers after school I remember the first day I walked in there and was welcomed and got high for the first time,I greatly regret that day as it has left me with an addiction that I’m tackling alone You can still take your child to this school but monitor them and arrange transport this thing of walking home is how most of us fell into drugs

Hyde Park High School is definitely not a great place to grow up. Teachers are racist, especially the lady in the front office, teachers are rude!!! Every since Me Vogi left nothings been the same, the current headmaster changed everything, for the worst. Teachers at their big ages still have favourites, in Hyde Park you won’t get to do anything, you won’t get recognised unless you’re a teachers pet and also if your a pof!!! White, Indian girls are allowed to have their colour changed every 2 weeks and no one says anything but as school as a pof does it it’s a major deal, some teachers aren’t patients, the headmaster is such a bitch and with that so many good teachers left, hyde park high school is a sinking ship slowly but surely!!! DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD TO THAT SCHOOL!!!!

Firstly i would like to address the fact that most of the teachers dont care about teaching the slower learners it is more about helping smarter students when asking teachers for help most of the replies would be to learn more at home and they would refuse to help me . The school also has a massive drug problem with most culprits still in school. I do not at all recomend anybody to attend this school unless you want to develop mental health issues and anxiety.Kids who report issues regarding teachers will get ostrisized and treated badly by the teachers.The sports facilitys are good thats why i gave it a 2 star.

There's alot of bullying happening in that school girl's body shaming each other boys comparing body's .I really don't enjoy going to that school

Ummm so when I first got there, the teachers were really helpful but during my second year the higher students in class got more attention by teachers more than struggling students and the teachers barely teach the whole class but rather higher students I felt useless.

The teachers help a lot, some are rude like Mr Bhebhe and another teacher. The learners are shit??? They flirt with our girlz then leave us in the dark. They don't back you up Mara the school is mooi overall but sometimes there's unecessary drama.

I regret going to this school. I wont recommend anyone to take their children there

This isn't by far one of the best schools but has the potential to be. The school lacks in respect towards teachers and students. Full of smokers and people who drink. Students have lack of respect to one another and teachers have no respect to students. Some teachers are amazing but they is a handful of them. School doesn't do anything to people who smoke or disobey the rules because most of them are still in the school and not expelled.

hyde park is one wack school , these teachers are ew everything’s ew at this point , the teachers are so DISRESPECTFUL , we be so nice to them and they always choose violence , always ! they also don’t know how to solve issues they always quick to jump and never finish problems between student or teachers and it’s always ‘the students are wrong ‘bye .

First off the school forgets to mention a lot of key factors like the fact there are thieves, way too many smokers and a fair share of drinkers in the student body, if you're like me that bit was fun but if you're not it'll annoy you to no end that constant drug tests are done but most of the culprits are still in the school and also the fact there sometimes seems to be a lack of consideration for students from the teachers. Certain teachers honestly lack the skills academically and skills to teach teenagers that need a balance of fun and work. I would've given it a 3 star evens but truth be told i hated going to HPHS and those will always be some if the worst years of my life.

Really bad school. Bad teachers, school refuses to do anything about the bad teachers even when they are complained about, putting education in jeopardy. School does not do anything about theft and constant drug scandals.
