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.

My first two years were wonderful. However, this year was different and I foresee a down hill spiral from here. Some teachers don't even want to teach or just can't teach. Many teachers are mean along with the admin. Many admin are also unwilling to hear students' concerns. Why they were ranked number one this year is beyond me. Hopefully the next generation will see good changes.

The teachers aren't very good but you just have to find the right one. It's a hit or miss when they bring in new teachers. Sometimes the people can be bad.

Harding Charter Prep is an awesome place to be! I love the fact that all of my teachers care and are really interested in me going to college. A lot of my friends also go to Harding and they are all different. It is different and unique because that is something that would not be common at some othe...
