I've come to realizing there are a lot of politics involved in these school ratings. I learned that schools have to pay a "membership" fee to get accreditations, if they don't pay thier school loses accreditation. People assume that means the school is bad like I did, it doesn't! Also a student just confirmed there are AP classes at the school, but one of the ratings are low for Harlan because they claim there are no AP classes. Nonetheless, my point is don't rely on these national "rating" systems to determine the quality of the schools. They give favorable ratings and accreditations to schools who pay thier "membership" fees and low ratings to schools who don't to make you believe the school is subpar

Principal Gray and faculty have done a phenomenal job executing a well organized, engaging, absolutely fun program. My daughter Marley always felt safe and supported going to school. Thank you so much to the teachers and general staff for everything you have done. We are so appreciative

As a former student I’ve been at this school my entire life, I’ve seen the highs and lows. The teachers are great yeah you’ll get bored but they manage to make it fun, they manage with little support, they try their hardest and never gave up on us and that’s what matters. Even if there were fights they were quickly resolved, the staff and parents stepped in when in need. They once provided ice pops for the entire school on an extremely hot summer day.i genuinely love this school and hope that my next school is just as supportive and innovative as possible.
