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.

Harrison High School is truly an amazing experience. The presence of the IB Diploma (which is open to all students) is incredible and in my opinion, harder than college. Harrison produces many ivy league commits yearly and is one of the best schools in westchester

I had a great experience at my high school. I was fortunate enough to have well-driven students within my classes, teachers who care about me as a person, and resources to be successful in whatever path I choose to take. With this, I have decided to go into engineering at a competitive school where I will continue to focus on my academics. However, I wish there was more a culture at my school with more spirit as sometimes the school put too much pressure on grades for students rather than their wellbeing.

Harrison High School has been great for both my children who are completely different learners. My older daughter went through the rigorous IB program and was very prepared for college.
