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 go to the Herman Hesse k-8, and I LOVE IT!!! Teachers care about students with kindness and hospitality. If there are any problems, the teachers help each student with action and calmness. Overall is a wonderful school to go to. " Hesse is the P.L.A.C.E to be!"
