Hermon High School has shown strong academic performance, with a high percentage of students proficient or better in MEA/English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science assessments compared to the state and district averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 52.38% of Hermon High School students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 63.84% statewide and 66.55% for the Hermon Public Schools district. The school has also consistently maintained high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 87.3% to 93.4% over the past few years, which are above the state average. Additionally, Hermon High School has shown strong performance for both female and male students, as well as for low socioeconomic status students, ranking in the top 50 and top 54 high schools in Maine, respectively, for the 2024-2025 school year.

However, Hermon High School has experienced relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 16.1% to 25.5% over the past few years, which is higher than the state average. This may be an area of concern that the school and district should address. Interestingly, Hermon High School generally outperforms the nearby Nokomis Regional High School, Bucksport High School, and Old Town High School in terms of academic performance, graduation rates, and student subgroup performance. However, the school's ranking has fluctuated over the years, suggesting that its performance may be influenced by factors that can change over time.
