GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. 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 am currently a senior at HMA, and let me tell you, the last four years that I've spent here have been some of my life. HMA has shaped me as a person, and has truly changed the way that I hold myself. Before I entered HMA, I was an extremely shy person, to the point that it was hard for me to even walk into a room filled with people. However, after my these last few years, I changed dramatically, and it's all thanks to my teachers and my classmates. HMA is an incredible place to be. Here, you feel as if there's peole who care about you and someone who wouldn't mind listening to your problems. In many ways, this school has made sure that I am prepared to go into college and my future career, and has also gave me tools to rely on when I feel lost about my future. I will truly miss HMA, and I hope that if you're given the opportunity to, you too choose to attend HMA.

HMA was a great environment for learning. The teachers and students are motivated and ready to work, however it is sometimes hard to stay motivated due to the lack of real school spirit. Overall the staff was supportive and it was an amazing experience.

I currently attend this school and will graduate in 2016. As part of the engineering pathway, I have been able to learn about all disciplines of engineering.

Harmony Magnet Academy (HMA) has been great for our two sons, one finishing his first year and one his second. It challenges them academically and also, with their partnership with Strathmore, allows them a valuable sports outlet. The teachers and administrators are extremely responsive to us and wo...

Harmony Magnet Academy (HMA) has thus far been a satisfying experience for our sons. We chose HMA due to the academic culture, superior test scores as compared to other high schools in the county and its' claim that upon graduation students are college ready. We have found the teachers and administr...
