I'm giving it 5 stars despite everything since this school is very good for a public high school when it comes to academics. If you're looking for a public school that will help your child get into an amazing college this is the high school to go to. But with success also comes sacrifices. I went to an amazing college after going to Millard North but honestly that high school gives me flashbacks to some of the worst years of my life. For one, this school is not very progressive, like at all. The environment is harmful for students of color, lgbtq+, and even women because the sexism is quite visible in stem classes. Not to mention, the school also now has political clubs such as the "Millard North Republicans" which enable problematic students and creates a more hostile environment. I was severely bullied and isolated by many of my classmates throughout my later years of high school, specifically in the IB program, which by the way is absolutely useless. The school has major issues with class too, you will most likely not feel very welcome here as a low income student. The school is not helping for providing accommodations for students with disabilities such as ADHD because quite frankly a lot of the teachers are in a sense, ableist. Lastly, some of the teachers can make you feel unsafe. Don't stay alone with a teacher in any classroom and make sure to bring a classmate with you for afterschool help. Honestly its up to you to pick your poison, if you end up attending my advice would just be to really focus on your academics, and to choose activities that you are passionate about or interested in, avoid drama and try your best to hang on those 4 yrs.

As a former alumni, I would recommend this school to parents. Your child’s middle school years are very crucial to them, and this school has an AMAZING support system, mostly amazing teachers, and a helpful and resourceful admin.

Both of my children go to this school and both needed help with reading and writing. Harvey oaks has a reading and writing literacy program that has helped them both immensely! So much so one of ours kids have "graduated" from the program. Our eldest was in a small town school for most of kindergarten and when we moved to omaha, finishing out his kindergarten year at harvey oaks, they immediately took him into the program. All the teachers we've encountered since then have been amazing. They care not only about education but safety of all the children. I went to kiewit and millard north for middle and high school and was impressed with both schools and harvey oaks just continues to show me how amazing millard schools are.
