When Harker accepted me, I was super excited and I couldn't believe I got in. I continue to see how lucky I am to attend this school with amazing teachers, resources, and food.
11/30/2024
Definitely a lot of opportunities & extremely motivated student body. The environment could feel very 'sink or swim' at times with impostor syndrome definitely playing a part in my high school experience, but I still came out of Harker with lifelong friends and great memories.
10/4/2024
Nothing much to complain about. Teachers are great. Students are great. Parents are very nice people. I love school's very well established system and curriculum as well.

The support from teachers, administrators and staff is phenomenal. Students are provided ample opportunities to...

It would be an understatement that Harker is a great school. In all my experience only Harker has the learning resources and teachers to truly advance your child in academics. I attended Harker for 13 years K-12, which is easily the best school in the bay. Harker is known for unrivaled programs and...

For lunch a school that markets themselves as a STEM school they have failed to use technology to communicate with students, parents, and staff. The school has 3 tracks for kids for math and language arts but they are not based on academic performance but the child’s executive functioning. The schoo...
