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.

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.

Overall, my experience has been great because there are so many beneficial resources open to me. The guidance counselors are excellent. They are always available to help me out and talk through things when I need it. Harrison emphasizes the importance of college and career readiness, so students have been given many resources and opportunities to learn about colleges and careers.

Something I really don´t like as a student at Harrison is how early we have to be at school. On your average day classes start at 7:30 a.m each day. You get off the bus at 7:15 so that means many students are on the bus by 6:30 to 6:40 a.m. So that means depending on the type of person you are you´re most likely out of bed by 5:00 or 5:15 a.m and throughout the week that can be very draining both mentally & physically. Something I really enjoy about being a student at Harrison is the Pep Rallies because you may not be physically involved in them but you can still feel the school spirit and in some ways it gives you this sense of belonging. Just hearing everyone cheering on for the school and what it represents as whole I feel like it really makes you feel good and their always fun.

This school discriminates against any race that isn't the standard white American. Just from the percentages, you can make that inference. If you're not high middle class to middle class, and white, then there's no future for you to get from the school and their discrimination. They make it a point...

As a student this is pathetic. Most of the administration don't care about the students and even some members of the facility(teachers). I shouldn't have to be fearful for my safety when I am simply going to school. Plus my parent should be made aware if there is something to be concerned about, but...

Although there are many opportunities and classes offered at Harrison High School, and there are many strong dedicated teachers there. I would not recommend it. Unfortunately, the upper level administration (principal and vice principals) do not address behavior issues within the school, and there a...

Harrison offers a large variety of classes. Teachers and counselors really care about student success in and out of the classroom.
