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.

Harper is a small public school where everyone knows everyone. You get to be involved in many more activities than you would at a larger school.

I really like Harper, I really enjoy the small class sizing and being able to know everyone in my class personally. I am able to participate in anything and everything if I wish because the school is so small. Although I do know that the only thing I would change is either the fact that what your last name is can help or hurt you, or that for a public school the dress code is ridiculously strict in my head. Even with this I would never want to go to another school.

There wasn't very much that I actually liked about Harper. Pretty much only the sports program for girls. There was way too much drama and always false rumors being spread about you behind your back.
