While the school has some areas of strength, such as Regents exam performance in certain subjects, it also faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism, lower-than-average proficiency rates on state assessments, and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.

Hermon-Dekalb Central School's four-year graduation rate of 84.3% is slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate of 4.9% is higher than the state average. The school's performance on state assessments and Regents exams was mixed, with some grade levels and subjects performing above the state average, while others fell below. Notably, the school had a high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.1%, which may be contributing to the lower academic performance.

Despite the challenges, Hermon-Dekalb Central School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11:1, suggesting the potential for more individualized attention and support for students. Additionally, the school serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, with 67.98% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Addressing the unique educational needs of this population and improving attendance and academic achievement could be key focus areas for the school and the Hermon-Dekalb Central School District.
