HEMMERLING is a great school. There is a Boys and Girls Club of America held in the MPR right after school until 6pm. The staff offer tutoring and activities for the kids. Hemmerling staff, principal including parents are so involved in their students and always look for better ways to improve school programs. My son is currently in 1st grade and did attend Kinder as well. Both teachers have always praised an lean towards my childs strengths and help him acheive success. The school is very clean and is fully gated, so I do feel that my child is safe at school. I would def reccommend Hemmerling to any parent that is looking for a Kiner-4 grade school for their child.

I lived in Banning my whole life and I went to another Elementry school here, But when my oldest daughter was placed here I didnt know what to think, but after I met with the Principal and saw how hard everyone works to help out the children here, I was sold! Now my 3 kids go here, and I couldnt ask for a better school. If you want great/friendly/caring teachers and staff this is the school. BEST SCHOOL IN TOWN!

About the tests


In 2011-2012 California used the California Standards Tests (CSTs) to test students in English language arts in grades 2 through 11; math in grades 2 through 7; science in grades 5, 8 and 10; and history-social science in grades 8 and 11. Middle and high school students also took subject-specific CSTs in math and science, depending on the course in which they were enrolled. The CSTs are standards-based tests, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of California. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the tests.
