GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Overall, Harding University is a decent institution. However, my primary concerns revolve around reports of staff engaging in inappropriate behavior with students. I always worry about my safety due to frequent bomb threats and certain areas lacking proper security measures as they should have.

My daughter attended there all 4 years as an IB student. I like the rigorous courses they offer, because students need to be prepared for college, and this school did that.The PTA and Band Association were great, except that they need more parental support to help get many more positive things going...
