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.

I am glad to see my time at Harpeth High come to an end. I have had many teachers positively affect my high school years, and other teachers that did not greatly affect my experience. I would like to see better food conditions and more athletic teams.

Harpeth is a great and fun place to be. There is lots of community involvement for any kind of festival, sport, or event. The teachers and staff are truly amazing at what they do for us.

Overall had a decent experience here. Most of the teachers are amazing and care about the students and what they're teaching. Just lacking in most other areas.

Teachers and faculty seem happy and joyful~ a sure sign of support and positive leadership! This directly affects our children and it’s apparent in our daughter’s perspective and experience at Harpeth~ we are so grateful for the faculty and staff and opportunities offered at Abintra!

I go to harpeth as a sophomore. It's not the worst, but there are things that could be done better. 1. The ID's. They've said that when the picture ID's arrive, we'll have to wear them. Just why?!? They look terrible, and they're just another thing trying to get us to accept surveillance in the name...
