GreatSchools Rating
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.

My experience at Harrisburg Scitech high school is a 4/5 for many reasons. The school district is not bad it's just they are not reasonable. I have had good times and I have had bad times in the school district they have failed me plenty of times but I also gained enough a lot of knowledge that is helping me thrive with what I got. Now I am not bashing the Harrisburg high / scitech school Districk I'm just saying that it is corrupt and needs more help With getting certain clubs and activities put into other schools not just Harrisburg High but it's a scitech to.
