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 love the people I met and the memories I made. The school is a bit older compared to school around, but they have been working on the renovations needed to help improve the school

Harlan High School has an amazing band program. It felt like I had a second family. The teachers were not too strict and they were understanding. the cafeteria food is delicious and on some days we would have breakfast for lunch.

There are very many different clubs and organizations at Harlan High School including Beta Club, History Club, FBLA, Journalism, Musettes, Boys Choir, and Band. The Academic Team's do outstandingly well. The officers of each club put their heart and soul into each club to make it the best they can be.
