This school can’t expect my daughter because she’s black doesn’t make sense because when I came there they was there a receptionist that just left now and she promised I would get a space for my daughter and now she left then I went to the principal and I was supposed to be number one on the waiting list but then I became number three then I had a meeting with her and then I end up coming number nine for something soon and I got so mad and that person was treating me like shit and I don’t know why she was like so mean it’s the new principal this year and she was like sorry today and I was like food just because my daughter is black and she doesn’t want her there then I left that I wanted to come back to tell her something but then she said that these people cannot come here that’s what she said I’m like legit banned from that school me like what the school is like the worst this is a bad review thanks for nothing now I have to get a different school for my daughter

You aren’t valued in this school as an individual

Herschel is a terrible school to say the least. The priorities are out of line- focusing on mark’s before the well-being of students. No matter what show is put on to the public eye the problems run deeply in this school. It pushed me to the edge, ruined my mental health and made me feel like i wasn’t worthy. You aren’t valued in this school unless you are a high high achiever. Even then the pressure and mannerism from teachers is unacceptable and damaging. This should not be accepted or continued. Please save yourself and do not go there.

could be improved

really destroyed mental health
very racist, would not recommend unless you’re white and rich but will give you tools to further education which is useful. if given the opportunity i would go through those 5 high school years again because of he skills i learnt like the reasearch essay, study skills etc but if you’re not going there to better your education would not recommend.

Herschel in a nutshell

I recommend Herschel Girls’ Highschool because I discovered who I was and who I wanted to be in the future.
I loved some of my teachers but didn’t like my peers.
Personally , the majority of girls at Herschel are bullies and do not care about anyone else other than themselves.

I recommend this school to someone that has high aspirations for their future, for people who love the arts and for sporty and highly competitive people.
