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 never disliked my time in Harvey High School. From the academics to the opportunities offered, I felt as though they genuinely tried their best to ensure a quality education for their students. The guidance councilors, in particular, do a lot to ensure their students thrive. All in all, Harvey High School is not a bad institution and I do not regret my time there.

Harvey High school is a very diverse school with accepting staff. The teachers give their best efforts to help the students in anyway. The best part about Harvey for me was the arts. My experience with the band and art programs is what kept me motivated.

I have gone to Harvey High School for 4 years. It may have a bad reputation, but in my personal experience it has been sufficient in preparing me for my secondary education. If you go to a guidance counselor and ask for help, they will do all that they can. As long as you stick with school and the offered programs, you can do very well here. It may be easy to get lost with the crowd, but keeping a straight-head can be attainable. Harvey high school was a great school for me and for others.

Harvey is a very unique school. It is very diverse which is great because it teaches cultural acceptance, but is also a problem because nobody (faculty) knows how to teach all of us. Some teachers are helpful if they like you. If you have a reputation as a "trouble" student a majority of the faculty...
