Throughout the years, I have had a pretty decent overall experience with Harlem High School. Most of the people here are kind and friendly and exhibit great values like leadership, community, and empathy.

Harlem High School had its ups and downs. While there was a lot of emphasis on clubs, especially sports it seems that academics were on the back burner. They wanted students to take as many AP classes they could but did not offer the necessary support that comes with it. That was mostly on the guidance counselors and administration. Some of the teachers were the best teachers I've ever had, they cared for you and your future life.
