It’s an average school. It’s very easy to graduate from. If you would consider your child/yourself intelligent or have lofty goals, don’t send them here. Unless you’re working some kind of magic, you won’t be getting into any crazy good school. Most people end up going to either community college or a state college. However, if your student is an athlete, this could be the school for them. There is a big focus on athletics and all of the teams are usually very good. Diversity is horrible. Almost everyone in the town is Caucasian, and some form of Christian. Teachers are okay at best. There are a couple of good ones in the mix, but most of them aren’t that great. Some of them have unorthodox teaching styles that simply aren’t effective at teaching students what they need to learn. The others don’t care a whole lot about what they’re teaching. However, there are some that are very good about their job and care about their students and the material they’re teaching.
My favorite part about Hesston High School is how passionate the staff is about their jobs. I have attended Hesston schools since the sixth grade, and I haven't had a single teacher, principle, secretary, or custodian that did not love their job.
Hesston is a very good school but the social environment is very clique based. If you do not do sports or fit in with the group you want, you will have difficulties making friends. Being different is not very accepted there but mostly if you are nice to people and don’t cause drama, you will be fine. Education is decent at Hesston, the teachers care about the students and there are some fantastic teachers.
