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.

Overall, depending on what teachers you get, you will have had a great experience or a bad one. Harvest Park is basically a younger version of Amador Valley, in terms of the kids. Most of my teachers are great and awesome, but now a lot of them have moved away. Mr. Perazzo is a great band teacher and the Library and Band rooms were my sanctuary. The Admin are really nice and caring, but kind of strict, which can be a good and a bad thing. Overall, it was a great school and my experience was ok.

Bullying doesn't or rarely happens at this school. This school is very safe and therefore police and safety services or any special security measures aren't needed. The school nurse is very friendly and helpful.
