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.

As a senior at this school, I wish there was more school spirit, it felt safer, and the admin and counselors did their jobs to prepare students for college. I am scared to go to college because my counselors never helped me prepare with classes ahead of time.

The best part of my experience at Harrison High School has consistently been my participation in the fine arts department, specifically the choir. Outside of choir, the school does not always feel the safest and students are not always supported as they should be.

Harrison High School has been an amazing school throughout my 4 years of attending it. From great teachers willing to assist in and out of the classroom to amazing resources that are easily accessible to all students.

Academically a good school, but when it comes to bullying, learning differences, teacher attitude toward students of color, admin/leadership, and character stay AWAY. This is not the school you want to send a child that does not fit the box of being "white or caucasian". African American students ne...
