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.

Harvey milk is like no other school students are excepted in that school no matter what you are the students are comfortable being who they are it always some teachers who helps us out along the way and give us chances whether to do work or anything they never give up they would keep on pushing you to be the best you can be but they try to be fair and there is definitely no bullying they try to be fair wit everyone and Harvey milk don't really kick people out but I'm ngl Harvey milk is a small school there is no gym it's basically in the cafeteria but as long as you doing the work it don't matter the teachers are understanding like if you going through something they understand like me I don't like to do work online so I always ask the teachers can I get it printed on paper it's easier cuz I be online doing work I don't check the work I have to do it's better on paper and I can turn it in most of the teachers are nice and the school has mediation If u have problems wit others u fix it

Harvey Milk High School is the only LGBT dominated high school. It's a safe haven to many and it's a place I call home. Due to transferring to this school I done so much better with my grades. It's such a small school that I was able to get help right away when I asked. Instead of 30 kids in a class the most it will be 10.

The school is very warm and supportive. Student body is very small, so teachers know almost every kid's name. It is very LGBTQ supportive, and gay-bashing is strictly forbidden.
