An absolute disgrace. Rather than making a positive change to prove that Public Schools are not horrible as some think. They do bare minimum. They are adding to the problem instead of solving the problem.

I went here for kindergarten through sixth grade. Those were fun years and I plan on sending my children to Harrison in a few years.

For over a decade, we have had at least one kid in Harrison School. Our experience has been wonderful. The kids have learned an amazing amount and have thrived under the guidance of excellent teachers. The school is getting better and better as the years go by.
