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.

I like how Herkimer has many sources of support and care for their students however I dislike their lunches because It's sometimes cold and unappetizing.

I've been a parent of Herkimer students for years. My oldest graduated in June and my youngest she started. As far as academics go, I feel it's average. I believe the students determination is what counts the most. So, I've had ups and downs with both my kiddos. As I'm sure every parent has.

During my years in Herkimer High school I have not only gained knowledge to help me be successful after I graduate but also leaves me with memories that happened throughout the years. The staff and my peers Herkimer High school will always be a part of who I am and helped shaped me into the person I am today. This school prepared me for the outside world for after I graduate and I am proud to say I am a graduate from Herkimer High school.

Hello was a student of this school and i recently graduated. If you can help it do not go to this school. It seems like the one thing they do not care about is education.
