Overall it was a good experience going to Hercules High School and I definitely benefitted from using the resources they provided such as the MESA (Mathematics Engineering Science Achievement) club and EAOP college readiness club. In my middle school years, I also really liked the band program and students of the high school band would frequently visit the middle school side and teach us how to play.

My teachers were very engaging. They encouraged me to dive deeper into a subject and really challenge myself with each concept. My teachers were very supportive and cared a great deal in my academic career. I was easily able to find my community at the school and establish long lasting friendships.

I like the diversity of the community in Hercules High. It's a great, but small, school for the area and students do succeed from here. The campus is not the best as it is outdoors and is a bit messy, but it's much more than that. Hopefully that'll change in the future.

My daughter is a junior at HHS and she rates the school a four out of five. She tells me she feels safe there, enjoys the happy, laid back atmosphere, and feels like those who care about their grades and want to get into a good college are getting what they need, more or less. There are good and bad...

Run to another school. The administration is a farce.The students unruly, the security guards part of the problem and the teachers aren't getting paid enough to care. Generally speaking of course. My experience with this school is totally negative from beginning to end. I will never encourage anyone...

This school really needs to refresh on how to keep kids safe there. There are always fights and the new principal just doesn't seem to have a handle on things. I preferred the previous principal, things just seemed not so hectic.
