GreatSchools Rating
Parent Rating Average
If you're an African American family the students are extremely hurtful towards you. The things that comes out of their mouths are unbelievable. It clear the kids are learning to be racist and mean towards my kids at home. The staff knows about the kids behaviors and little to nothing seems to change. It's gotten so bad the staff started ignoring my kids when they complained about being bullied. There needs to be more education on different cultures and ethics groups at Harding ES.
