Terrible admissions process for any child of color seeking financial aid. Harvest staff is especially exclusionary.
Posted by a parent on 5/11/2026The school does not care about your mental health and does not understand your situation, even if they are a nurse. I was asked to leave because of my unwanted mental health issues.I was asked to leave the school because I was a safety hazard. I dealt with severe depression and was told to express m
Posted by a community member on 10/1/2024This was the most uncomfortable experience my family and I have been in. The administrator Katy is the complete opposite of what a Christian non judgmental women should be. Treated us terribly and I would never give a cent to a school who treats ANYONE like this. Do yourself a favor and believe the
Posted by a community member on 6/5/2023HCA has been such a blessing to our family. When we moved here 3 years ago we knew only two family members in the area and HCA became our family. When we came to visit HCA we were nervous to move somewhere so cold but after going to an HCA chapel, we could feel the presence of the Holy Spirit
Posted by a parent on 12/4/2018This is my third attempt at posting a review - pretty sure greatschools is biased at negative reviews . We were here for 3 years and had a terrible experience with this school . The principal is terrible , and the environment at this school is hostile . If you are not part of the church - then you a

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AveragePrincipal sits in his office and does not help when needed. I have observed that Mr. Corcoran has his favorites in staff and students, it definitely shows. My child was getting bullied at Harriet Gifford and Mr. Corcoran would just sit in his office and do nothing. Comment he said about one of the staff who would call for help was we didn't hire this teacher to use all of our additional staff.Parent Review5y ago - Highland Elementary School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy language delayed daughter has been EXCELLING after only 2 months here. She comes home happy, and is very excited to go in the mornings. She loves loves loves her teachers, and has really socially blossomed. They offer the coolest programs and activities. I cannot believe this is a public school. We are so lucky and blessed for our child to attend this school. They mix together the 3 and 4 year olds, which at first I thought was strange, but the 4 year olds are role models for the 3 year olds, sharing all they learned the previous year with the new little ones.Parent Review1y ago - Larkin High School

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe gifted program is geared towards “model” students and has no accommodations at the school or district level for kids with ADHD, etc. The 6th grade gifted teacher failed to communicate assignment/syllabus to students or parents, did not follow my child’s IEP, and chose not to notify us when our child was speaking about self-harm in class.Getting my child out of there has greatly improved their emotional health, safety, and academic achievement.Parent Review1y ago - The Einstein Academy

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI went to this school from 7th-10th grade. As an adult who is now a science major, I have had to work a lot harder due a substantial gap in my science education at this school. If you want your kid to have a solid science and math foundation, do not send them to this school.Other Review2y ago
