So far my overall experience with Harmony Science Academy - Houston has been great. Sometimes there are ups and downs when it comes to certain aspects, but I can't blame the school for them. Besides, I think my academic performance has been great since I entered the school, and it's all thanks to the teachers that put a lot of hard work into our education.

In my 2 years experience, Harmony science academy has been very good academically and in sports for my kids. I also like the safety measures they take. There are ample electives offered which makes the students help figure out what they career they want to choose.

There are so many great experiences at Harmony Science Academy Houston in terms of the quality of education, safety, social awareness and it is very much an anti bullying school with well equipped classroom and great teachers. The worst part is the lack of diversity in terms of the quality of meal served and that is what I would like the school to work on.
