Hermitage High School

I would rate it a 7 out of 10

I graduated from Hermitage class of 2016. Overall I had an amazing experience at this school. My teachers were wonderful and I left the school equipped with a great education. School culture is down-to-earth, accepting, and appreciative of differences. Lots of school pride when it comes to football (the team is excellent and it was always fun to go to games). Like all high schools, Hermitage did have its problems with fights, theft, drugs, etc. We sometimes were stereotyped as a scary or rough school, but this is just not true at all. I met some of the most intelligent, hardworking, kind, funny, and interesting people I've ever come across while at Hermitage. A few things I would change about this school: more support for non-football sports, more AP classes to be offered (like Physics and BC Calculus), and more incentive/reward for teachers who choose to dedicate their time and energy to sponsoring a club or other extracurricular. On a final note - I was also in the Humanities program - it gave me a wonderful background in art history, music, and culture, and I am very appreciative of this unique aspect of my education. I wouldn't trade my experience at Hermitage for anything.

I been going to this school for a year and it is very great

I am currently a sophmore at Hermitage and I have to say it has been THE WORST experience of my life. I dread every morning I have to wake up and go there. I cannot stand it here the students are so ghetto, loud and obnoxious. A good amount of them come from Wilder Middle so I am not surprised. The teachers dont teach anything my spanish teacher just sits at her desk on the computer and gives us busy work and my other teachers just simply dont know what they are doing. Anytime a teacher is willing to let a student pull out their cell phones and take pictures with them is saying something. The teachers dont do anything about bullying when they see it and I have honestly seen teachers talk bad about them right infront of them. The lunch is horrific, the administrators dont enforce any rules. In all honestly I cant say one good thing about this school other than the football team. Most of my friends go to Glen Allen HS which makes even more upset so if anyone can tell me how to get out of Hermitage and go there I would be extremely thankful.
