Research C.D. Hylton High School Public Schools in Manassas, Virginia

“I am a freshman at Hylton. The school is awesome. The teachers work hard to help you. The upperclassmen help you not push you around. I am in the CISL (Center for International Study of Languages) program it is a great program that guides you in the right direction to get you into college and have fun as well. Hylton is a great place to be and I'm glad I transferd there from my base scholl Garfield.”

“The students are passionate, active in their community and school, and the principal is an excellent example of school spirit. The CISL program is an incredible experience that inspires students to take more AP classes, and to immerse themselves into other cultures through travel, exchange programs, and language requirements. The school is safe, there aren't many problems between students, and the staff is friendly.”

“I had two students to attend C. D. Hylton! Go Bulldogs! One son graduated in 2005 and a daughter in 2007, but she was suppose to graduate in 2008. She finished in three years. The school has great administration and awesome commaderie and teamwork. The Principal is great as well! A real leader. I can't wait until my six grader gets to be a Bulldog!”

“This is a great high school The commitment of the teachers is outstanding. The course selection is like being in college. The extra curricular opportunities are outstanding. Can't say enough great things!!”

“I am a senior, and have been here for three years. The past school that I went to was Robinson Secondary School in Fairfax. The teachers here and take the time to talk to you if you are falling behind...and yes the principle here is awesome, shes is like a second mom to me. I have to agree, they should let up on the attendance rules that they have, but Ive been on time to class everyday for two years...When I was at Robinson you could rome in late to class, and some of the teachers would not care, and do nothing, but at Hylton, if your late you go straight to your admin, and get a detention. Well, cant wait to grauate...GO DAWGS!”

“The specialty program for International Studies and Languages (CISL) at Hylton is extremely well run thanks to Margaret Holt. This school offers and extensive array of AP courses and has a Social Studies Department that is second to none. Eighteen of the twenty-one teachers my daughter has had in the last three years range from very good to phenomenal. Hylton offers great diversity where not only are differences tolerated, they are celebrated and respected. Behavior standards are high yet students are able to relax and enjoy themselves. The list of extra-curricular programs is mind boggling. The only weakness I have encountered is in their administrative staff. I would highly recommend this school to anyone contemplating one of their programs.”

“I'm not a parent, but I did attend CD Hylton Senior High school...and loved it! I have gotten into my share of trouble at Hylton, but in the end, I appreciated it, because it made me realized how much the faculty actually cared about my actions and well-being. I would not be able to make the same comment about my previous high school...”

“Like most high schools in metropolitan Washington D. c. Hylton offers quite an array of courses for it's students. Sports activities are some of the best in the state. there is a swmall core that performs at a very high academic level. Teaching staff is adequate and class size is normal.”

“By far the best experience I have ever had Hylton provides students with a quality education and spirited atmosphere were studentd can achieve thier true potential if they work hard. I am a student and there is no other place I would like to recieve my education from than Hylton.”

“Hylton High school is not a very good school. first of all they are very strict and they need to lighten up on the rules and less strict punishment Not to mention the teachers at the school, now dont get me wrong, some of the teachers are great, some of the best teachers I've ever. and u dont get detention you go straight to saturday school i mean COME ON give us a break. were their to learn not to sit in a room for 4 hours and do nothing! ~karen”

“I'm not a parent, but I'm a student! I love Hylton! I think it's the greatest school! The teachers are fantastic and the afterschool activities are wonderful! The principal is the greatest I've ever had! She is fantastic!”

“We have three children that graduated from this school. All have gone on to college and successful endeavors. I was never worried about their safety or the quality of education that they were receiving. The extra-curricular activities that they participated in (football, band, drama) were among the best in the state, and they were led by adults who truly cared about my child. I did not find parental notification to be a problem. In fact just the opposite. We have since moved to a different area of the country and realize even more just how outstanding PWC and CD Hylton are in providing a good environment for learning.”

“I think that the new princiapl (Mrs. Custard) is doing a great job but has a lot of work in store for her not only in staying on top of the students but the administrators and teachers as well as both the administrators and teachers do an awful job at parent notification, it seems to me that once the kids get out of middle school in Prince William County that the teachers/administrators just don't care anymore.”
