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.

While at Harrisburg High School, it was generally a fun time as the school was generally good in most aspects. The only downside I can think of is the fact that they dropped any technology-related courses during my time there (2013 - 2017). So if you are planning to do any information technology-related courses, you would have to look into a duel-credit course or look into early entry into a nearby community college.
