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 have attended Herrin schools my entire life. Several students can be heard complaining, but without reason. The school always tries to do the best they can with the tasks handed to them and involve families in any way they can. I love all of my teachers and believe they actually care for me and my peers.

I am overall happy with my high school. My teachers that I have had over the years are very helpful, and I will miss them. The guidance counselors are very helpful with college readiness and they have helped me prepare for the colleges I would like to attend. This high school is very well put together, and I am glad I attend Herrin High School.

The teachers are wonderful and fairly understanding. Most of the staff are kind and stern when need be. I'd just like to see more done involving bullying.
