As someone who has been going to private christian schools for my entire life, Harvest has given me opportunties to not only grow as a person, but grow in my faith. This is my third private school and it has treated my family and me well. I've met my best friends here and people I will love and cherish dearly.

went here for middle school. i had lots of friends, however other students were extremely bullied or sheltered to the point of being so socially awkward. the dark hallways were extremely dirty and the building itself is never clean. the classrooms are the filthiest. do not send your kids here. they'll grow up to be average scholars with no social skills and an altered sense of faith. food is absolutely disgusting, they reuse foods in an unsanitary way as well. i repeat, DO NOT GO HERE. i transferred out for high school and i had a social and educational disadvantage for the first month or two. so yeah, harvest is horrible.

I would like to see more welcoming to new students. Because I am a new student my senior year, I did not feel welcome until a few months in. Possibly a type of welcoming committee for new students.

This was the most uncomfortable experience my family and I have been in. The administrator Katy is the complete opposite of what a Christian non judgmental women should be. Treated us terribly and I would never give a cent to a school who treats ANYONE like this. Do yourself a favor and believe the...

HCA has been such a blessing to our family. When we moved here 3 years ago we knew only two family members in the area and HCA became our family. When we came to visit HCA we were nervous to move somewhere so cold but after going to an HCA chapel, we could feel the presence of the Holy Spirit so str...

This is my third attempt at posting a review - pretty sure greatschools is biased at negative reviews . We were here for 3 years and had a terrible experience with this school . The principal is terrible , and the environment at this school is hostile . If you are not part of the church - then you a...
