Summary

Hermann High is a public high school located in Hermann, Missouri, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 322 students. The school is part of the Gasconade County R-I school district, which is ranked 251 out of 367 districts in Missouri and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One of Hermann High's strengths is its consistently high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 94.2% to 97.4% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. However, the school struggles with chronic absenteeism, which remains higher than the state average and the nearby schools of Warrenton High and New Haven High. In terms of academic performance, Hermann High's students perform better in Biology I compared to the state average, but struggle in Algebra I and Algebra II, with significantly lower proficiency rates than the state averages.

Over the past few years, Hermann High's statewide ranking has dropped from 43rd out of 460 Missouri high schools in 2018-2019 to 192nd out of 367 in 2024-2025, indicating a decline in overall performance compared to other schools in the state. While the school performs well for low socioeconomic status students, it struggles with gifted and talented students. When compared to the nearby schools, Hermann High performs better than Chamois High in most metrics, but lags behind Warrenton High and New Haven High in areas such as test scores and graduation rates.

For being a rural school the teachers are great. Also the Band and Athletic programs are First Rate. They could use a little more support in the Drama department, and as always more parental support. Close Quote
