Hemmerling Elementary

Banning is a small desert city tucked between the San Bernardino Mountains and the San Jacinto range, offering an affordable, close-knit community feel that's a world away from the sprawl of greater Los Angeles. Hemmerling Elementary serves families looking for a neighborhood school with a genuine sense of community, and while its academic scores sit in the mid-to-lower range statewide, there's room for growth that motivated parents can help support. Families who are active partners in their child's education and appreciate a smaller, tight-knit school environment will likely feel most at home here.
