5/22/2024
A couple of times throughout the year we had no teacher for about a month. I felt like that really hurt my academic success. The best experience I had at Hercules High School was with the cross country team. Anyone could join, whether a runner was slow or fast. Although my Junior and Senior year were online during the pandemic, I would like to see better lunch options.

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.

Needs more ap classes and have no honors or IB classes. Needs more activites as well. Very under funded but for all the little resources they have they are not a bad school. All it needs is more money and more staff.

1/19/2022
Everything is textbook based, until the teachers create a test with nothing you’ve learned on the textbook. The lectures were little to nonexistent and there isn’t anything to pay attention in class because it’s either going over your homework from the previous night or from the textbook. Had a secu...

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.
