School Overview

Hershey is one of those towns that feels almost too good to be true — a tight-knit community built around a famous name, but with a genuine small-town warmth that keeps families planting roots there for generations. Hershey Intermediate Elementary reflects that same character, with strong academics across the board and English scores that rank in the 91st percentile statewide, making it a natural fit for families who want rigorous instruction without the pressure-cooker atmosphere of a big-city district. If you're drawn to tree-lined streets, easy access to Penn State Health and the broader Harrisburg area, and a school community where neighbors actually know each other, Derry Township is the kind of place that's hard to leave once you've settled in.
