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.

Great class and amazing talent teacher from different colleges overall amazing teaching and people. The only thing that bad about this school is student they draw on everything and treat school horribly don't know how to take care of property not theirs and don't know how to follow rules and the bathroom are always dirty especially the girls clogged with hair and napkin in sink us as girl and student who go to theses bathroom should take care of it honestly. For that I don't think school shouldn't be judge because it is up to us student to take care school we are in it for 4 years and for student to come to it.

My experience at Harding was really fun, I played football so I usually hung around people from my team. I also met new people and most people in the school are pretty nice and are fun people. There are some teachers that connect with their students differently and this is a good thing and helped me learn better. I would like to see a change in the way students carry themselves In the school. I feel like not enough kids in school have a goal and I feel like everyone should have goals. Not just for the future but for the present day also.
