A really good place for students who did not fit in at normal school cultures. However, because of the smaller school, there are some things you miss out on that you might experience in a normal highschool including prom, homecoming, etc. As the school has grown there has been more of an effort to include those things. The school really listens to the students and does their best to implement what the students want.

We're so glad we found Herberger for our kids. The teachers are phenomenal and goes out of their way to support the students. The students are diverse, bright, and a good influence on our kids, we're glad they have formed such great friendships. The parent community is also exceptional, I don't think you'll find a place with such caring and involved parents. Moreover, we love that they offer so many activities after school and give each student the opportunity to be creative and innovative.

This is an excellent school, I believe I have made a great choice joining it. The facility and education system is so much better and advanced compared to my previous school, and the faculty is so much more caring. This is the sort of school where if you try hard enough, you can do anything.

This is a great school for gifted students. They meet the academic challenges for these highly accelerated students. The school is small, around 100 students so teachers know their students well and understands what is needed to excel. However, there are social drawbacks to being in a small environm...
