This School’s Reviews

5.0 Freshman

12/28/2024

At Herron, it is insanely student led. When I applied to Herron over the summer, I recieved a call from a student congratulating me on getting accepted into Herron. While being at the school, it has helped me to see the diversity within the work and in my future onwards.

5.0 Senior

12/17/2024

We get barely any funding for a school that is constantly ranked nationally. It's very frustrating to see our school overlooked simply because we are a charter school so we don't even get money from the Indianapolis Public Schools group.

At Herron High School students are treated respectfully and taught in ways that challenge and help them grow as scholars. The curriculum is rigorous and engaging.

This school was a joke of an institution. The academics were not rigorous. Students were allowed to retake failed tests, and turn in assignments long after their due dates, projects were more "discussion" than actual work. Having an honor student, I saw all of this first hand. Administration was ext...

And threw petty undertones with it. And the students have so much tension yet never a fight whic I do thank...
