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.

I have enjoyed my teachers and coaches while at Harrison and made some good friends. Harrison has a variety of activities for students.

I've been here hardly a year and can confidently say that this school has the stupidest population of kids. The food here blows, and the bathrooms are constantly full of kids vaping or smoking weed. The administrative staff try their best to keep it under control, but they do a horrible job. It is painfully obvious that this is a failure of a school, and many students will not be ready when they're released into the world.

Horrendous, my child gets bullied there, the staff doesn't do anything about it, the staff doesn't care about the food, food is uncooked. School is dirty, students aren't under control and just cause havoc everytime according to my child. Horrible I'd give it a 0 but I can't.

One of the worst schools ever!!!! When I was attending school there, there was a lot of bullying and the teachers supported them instead of trying to stop them the best they can. They never even tried to help the students who needed help. Most of the teachers and staff were really disrepectful! You...

I am currently a junior at Harrison & I hate it. I don't get bullied, it has nothing to with any of the kids there. My problem is with administrators, they are never understanding, caring, or helpful. They only care about getting their job done as quick and easy as possible. With that being said the...
