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.

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.

We are a district that qualifies for free food for every student at the school. Because of this our school's food is not good and we don't get very much.

My school is a place where learning begins. Learning new things at Harrison county high School has been an honor, and im genuinely sad to be leaving. The teachers are amazing, the sports is okay. The staff are just all around good people.

Harrison County High School is a great place to go to school. It's located in Harrison County Kentucky which has a small population, this makes it to where everyone knows each other. I move to Kentucky from Virginia and the school systems are very different. When I moved here I felt very welcomed and fit in very quickly.

They are a bunch of liberals who only care about themselves and don't care what the students say because they are always "right".
