GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

My experience as a student at Hirsch was one of the best of my life. The teachers were like second parents and the school offered a lot in terms of clubs and activities. I'm a proud Hirsch Alumni!

For me school has been great. I have managed to stay off of a lot of things that have kept my friends in trouble. But if given the chance to start over I would never enroll.

My daughter graduated from this school year. It was a trying time during COVID but her teachers made it work. Would recommend.
