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.

This school was amazing. It's such a tightly knit community and everything and everyone is welcoming. From the way the sports programs are run to clubs and even the classrooms are amazing. I loved each of the four years I spent here and I really have no negatives when it come to the school as a whole. Even though I just graduated I can confidently say that I won't ever forget my experience here. My only complaint would be about th internet but that's not all that relavent anyhow because as I said earlier it really is a community of good people. And that I won't ever forget.

Great experience. Able to connect with peers and learn from others from all walks of life. Harlem HS has allowed me to excel and learn more about myself and where I want to go for my future. There have been challenges along the way but I have allowed support from my peers and the staff to help me grow into the young man I am today. I have participated in sports and have found that teamwork and communication are essential to any sport as well as life in general.

I graduated from HHS in 2017. The only staff that had respect for the students were the ones with the lowest titles. Administration was awful, they did not give their students any respect. All issues that involved students were not investigated at all, they would blame the student if there wasn't an...
