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.

Community and family are just some of the words I can describe Harrison High School. I have made so many friends and memories at this school that it is amazing to see how fast time has flown for both me and my friends. Education has never been such an incredibly intriguing experience so I am blessed to have been able to participate in the dual enrollment courses offered at Harrison.

Harrison High School was a pretty good school with lots of cool staff. Harrison could use some changing though. The way the school culture was is not that good and the higher administration really didn't seem to have the benefit of the students they really just wanted to get the test scores that they needed and so they technically forced them out of us.

There is a need for leadership who truly care in this district and school. It’s very sad that many of these students are failing and falling through the cracks. Not a lot of parental involvement.
