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.

Harvest Preparatory has been a really good school my parents decided to enroll me in HPA in 2019 I have never regret it. When i joined i didn't understood neither speak English thankfully my teachers have been really great and have help me learn it nowadays, I can have a normal conversation with my teachers and even with staff around. Students here are really nice and really calm, it is really nice to be around people that easily you can ask for help without being scared of being judged. Thanks for reading this.

The choice in electives is very limited. They do alright when it comes to teaching core classes. Some of the teachers there are very knowledgeable in the subjects they teach. Very few clubs and not that many choices when it comes to sports.

The school is good and has really good teachers who care for their students learning and success. it is not big as a public school but this makes the students get more involved with their classes and teachers, it makes it more accessible.

Horrible, they don't care about you at all. Most teacher don't have a license and teach you what ever they want, my science teacher would teach us about Peru and still give us a test on science. They don't prepare you AT ALL for college. Oh, and if you have a learning disability, don't bother coming...

Horrible. Pulled 2 of my students from the school and only allowed one of my kids to remain there because he is almost done with high school and wanted to graduate with his friends. Deeply regret even becoming associated with this school and can’t wait to be able to say that none of my kids go there...
