HEY!!! I am a student at harwood junior high. I'm going into the 8th grade. But my point is this school is amazing. It's really nice. Sure the teachers can be a tad bit mean but they only want what's best for you:) Either that or they only want their paycheck:P No but seriously everything they teach

My husband and I are extremely pleased with Harwood Jr. High. Our daughter just completed 7th grade and she loves it there! Here teachers presented challenging coursework and set high expectations while communicating with our daughter and myself if necessary. Also, the new administration seemed to

The new administration really took control and did a great job this past year. They established rules, and made sure they were followed. I was also impressed by the new principal's big expectations, and his desire to meet those. Great school.

Horrible is all I have to say about this school. It does not meet my expectations as a parent. My child needs help since she has ADD and she is not getting the right attention for it. I demand this school to be demolished immediatly. Thank you for your time. Good bye and have a lovely day. :)))))

Overall, Harwood Jr. High is above average as HEBISD junior high schools go. By and large, teachers are committed to students (we've sent 2 through.) Some discipline problems needing to be addressed swiftly, markedly, and then sustainably. Inappropriate language and PDA are so rampant, students have
... Read more become desensitized but parents remain concerned. Few extra-curricular activities except in athletics. New librarian trying mightily to update his 'realm;' kids seem to be responding positively. PTA is active but involvement drops off dramatically from elementary school. Administratively, all new staff this year -- 2 new VPs and new principal. A few policies (parents bringing lunch for kids) shot w/o parent/student input, but they seem to be trying. The jury is out for this year. Let's hope things improve over previous administration. Our kids love it there; we can't wait to get them out. Reality is somewhere in the middle. Read less

I attended HJH during my junior high years and was excited when my oldest son started. At first it seemed like how it was back in the 80's but really it is not. Most of the extra curricular activities no longer exist. There is no booster club or even a Student Council that the kids can participate in.
... Read more Spirit Parties are a thing of the past. 9th graders no longer have dances, homecoming mums, and letterman jackets. And where is the principal? There wasn't a day that I didn't see Mr. Downs or Dr. Whitley. Last year the princ. was never around, and this year we have a new one and he is never seen either. Read less

This is our second year in public school and I have found Harwood to be a good school. It is safe and somewhat challenging for the students. While there is always room for improvement I am satisfied overall. My child also likes the school but would appreciate more school activities for the 9th grade.
