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.

While I went to Harding it was hard. I got bullied and teachers did nothing. Fights happen multiple times a day and the students are very misbehaved. The only things I really liked were the art and music programs. I enjoyed being in choir the most. The school is also really dirty. I've seen bedbugs and roaches crawling around. Lice is frequent. I honestly don't have many fond memories at Harding. In the future they definitely need better disciplinary actions. They also need to take better care of their students. Also clean the school more frequent.

Harding is a basic high school with a-lot of career opportunities. If you can deal with fights every now and then and a bad behavior not even corrected then welcome to harding. I deal with the unknown every day but so dose every student. But they have so many career pathways that helped me find what exactly I want to do.

Honestly, High school breaks and makes spirits. It is spiteful and it can suck but it is a memory we will carry with us forever.

I currently attend a well-known four year university and am proud to say that I went to HHS. I learned so much from HHS thanks to quality teachers. HHS prepared me well for college. Thanks to these teachers, I have had no trouble at all adjusting to college level material. I was also lucky enough to...
