Don’t expect any sort of compassion from the administration of this school. Their goal seems to be to maintain the appearance of excellence without addressing the needs of individual students. There are other schools in the area that do a much better job of that.

I graduated from Hershey High School and I wouldn't have had it any other way. I was NOT spoiled, snotty or rich and I still enjoyed every second I spent at this school. I didn't appreciate the education I received until I began college and saw my peers who were not as fortunate as I was to attend such an outstanding school. The education I received was a cut above the rest!! The teachers, staff and administration were supportive, encouraging and student-centered. If you are considering a move to Hershey, it is a fantastic place to grow up as a child and a superb academic atmosphere for students.

I rated this School purely on the academics. The Kids that go to the school are spoiled, snotty and have their little "cliques" to which new kids entering have a hard time adjusting & making friends. These kids need to realize that Mommy and Daddy didn't always have money to throw away on them, they actually had to work & probably still work very hard for the money they earn. They should all be charitable and hospitable when they see new kids come in and make them feel comfortable & accepted. No-one knows what others have been through in their lives, but to be a good human, you don't need money, you need heart, a good personality and a good and gracious attitude. Don't push good kids away just because they are new or different or YOU don't think they fit in to YOUR standard or class of people, help lift them up, not bring them down, besides, it's not YOUR money that makes YOU any better than anyone else, it's your parent's money and you all should learn some appreciation & humility for being blessed to have more than most, but I promise you, no mater how much a family has or hasn't, you can bet they are hard working, responsible have good values & teach that to their children!
