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.

"Easy. A brisk 10 min walk from home to the Bart station and then 33 min into the city. Walking route feels save and is flat for the most part. Only a slight uphill."

"People walk their dogs and people rarely hold dog owners accountable for cleaning up after their dogs; so if you’re a lazy dog owner who doesn’t care about other people’s space you’re in luck. "

"While we are new to this neighborhood, we’ve enjoyed getting to know our neighbors in a relatively short period of time. It’s a mix of older couples who were once the “new families” and have been here for 30+ years, and us new families just arriving. Love the safe, homey feel. "
