Summary:
The city of Hermann, Missouri is home to three schools serving students from elementary through high school: Hermann High, Hermann Middle, and Hermann Elementary. These schools, part of the Gasconade County R-I district, serve a predominantly white student population with varying levels of academic performance and socioeconomic diversity.
Hermann High stands out as the top-performing school in the district, ranking in the top half of Missouri high schools and maintaining a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, its state-wide ranking has declined in recent years, suggesting a relative drop in performance compared to other high schools. In contrast, Hermann Middle has seen a steady decline in its state-wide ranking, despite previously achieving a 4-star rating. This disparity in performance is further highlighted by the significantly lower test scores at Hermann Elementary, particularly in Mathematics, where only 13.7% of 3rd-grade students are proficient or better.
The socioeconomic diversity within the Hermann school district is also noteworthy, with Hermann Middle and Hermann Elementary having high free and reduced lunch rates, indicating a larger proportion of economically disadvantaged students. Hermann High, on the other hand, has a lower free and reduced lunch rate, suggesting a more affluent student population. This diversity presents both challenges and opportunities for the district in addressing the educational needs of students from different socioeconomic backgrounds.
