This School’s Reviews

4.0 Senior

4/10/2024

I have loved my experience at Harding for the last 15 years. This school has challenged and built my faith. Unfortunately, I am constantly frustrated with how they set rules and it seems like they never follow through which affects my and others' ability to learn.

Harding Academy is a great school! The students love going there and the faculty is very involved and cares about them.

5.0 Senior

11/15/2023

As a newer student at Harding Academy the experience has been really great and easy to adapt to. I have many friends and have great relationships with teachers, and the sports and academics there are most definitely upper class compared to many other Arkansas high schools.

If it’s found out you have drank, smoked, or done anything with the opposite sex on or off campus, y...

Test scores are inflated a little due in comparison to public schools due to students coming from affl...

Woodland has been a nightmare with the snobbiest of parents and clueless staff. Harding seems to represent themselves in a very professional and friendly way. Briarcrest has als...
