I am very pleased with the AdVENTURE program offered at Herman Intermediate. The quality of the teachers is outstanding. You culd not get more caring, well-prepared teachers, who go out of their way to make sure that my children succeed academically and socially. The students are challenged with projects that stimuate their minds. No more kids bored with school!

I will be glad when my child is out of Herman,The school is inefficient in in dealing with children that are disruptive,disrespectful,These children need to be removed and let there parents,who are part of the problem,deal with them.Its time to take our education system back.We need to stand firm.Please giving a 7th grader an award with a 3.0 as Honor Role-Last I remember 4.0 was H.R.-There is to much help for the kids that don't care,and the good kids are being pushed aside.No Child Left Behind-What a scandle-God forbid the racial indifference!

Very disappointed that the STEM children's backpacks aren't allowed to be inside the classrooms during break or lunch leaving them subject to anyone and everyone going through them and stealing stuff out of them.

The STEM program, part of the Oakgrove school district & taught at Herman is a sure way to dissuade any high achiever from doing better. With lofty ambitions; the system has lost sight of teaching the basic facts and skills to the kids. The students spend a lot of time doing projects that lead to nothing tangible - while lacking basic skills. Math is one skill that is gone to the wind. Ms. Egan has no control over her class and lacks the basic class management skills. This leads to absolutely nothing taught in the class.

Please DO NOT leave the responsibilities of raising and educating our children solely on the teachers. We as parents need to know our children's progress at school and should be proactive on encouraging them to do well. Educators are NOT babysitters, they work with us in partnerships to help us bring up a well adjusted and academically well rounded child. It's not the school's fault that we don't have time to teach our kids manners, to help our kids with homework after school, or to keep track of what they do after classes. Those are the responsibilities as parents.

I think this school needs more staff to control the students because their is a lot of gossip around.

Herman is a great school, with good kids, that just needs a little more work from our principal and vice principal.
