Being a transfer who gradated from this high school I can say it is not a great school. The academics are decent but if you're not from their area, related to the staff, or have a lot of money you won't get anything good from this school. I had a terrible senior year being picked on and bullied by students and coaches. My younger brother is going through the same thing. They over look bullying because it is either their kids, kids related to them, or kids who come from a lot of money that do the bullying. Even coaches and teachers will bully students for no reason. They sit out kids who work their asses off in sports if they're not related or if their parents doesn't pay the school for them to play. Or they sit you out if they're upset that you have a college scholarship in a sport and their relative does not. The school will not to anything about it even with proof clear as day. All they do is sweep it under the rug and act like they are a 'close knit' school and they are 'accepting' of everybody. But the truth is they are not and if you're not from there, they do not care about you. I don't recommend sending your kid here, especially if they are in sports because the coaches will bully, and other players will bully as something my brother is going through is trying to tell the coaches who is bullying him with proof and they told him 'you're over reacting' but they see these kids pushing him around on the bus to games, and taking his stuff out of his hands. They do not care about you at all.

Harmony Jr High has been an awesome experience for both my son and myself! The teachers and Admin staff have been amazing. The education that my son is receiving is second to none!
