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.

As a Harrison high school junior I can say that this school is very heavy on sports. A lot of the visual and performing arts are not cared for and are overlooked. Our school's teachers aren't really the best. I feel like I have to teach myself math most of the time and I don't like that about my school. This school could take the time to improve several things about the school but it only feels like they care about getting more money to keep the school running.

There is a need for leadership who truly care in this district and school. It’s very sad that many of these students are failing and falling through the cracks. Not a lot of parental involvement.
