Harrison Elementary School

We have had now three children in this School. Our last is in 6th grade now and doing fine. Back in 2003 I started a job with the City of Cleveland and was required to live inside the City of Cleveland. That was repealed a few years back, We and many of my neighbors havent left. We could but we have seen no reason to. This school is a gem in the rough. Test scores consistently are better than the Parochial schools and the class size in Riverside is 15 students to a teacher whereas if you look at the Parochial school offerings, they are 25-30 students per teacher. This building has Air Conditioning. The other schools dont. Riverside is a brand new building (The old one was fine in my opinion. Our first was in that School for 2 years) The other schools in the area are ancient. Dont fall for the trap of thinking that if you pay a lot of money for something it is better. This school is one of three in the Cleveland School system that consistently shine. Be really careful with really bad reviews of this school. "All the teachers, All the Staff and All the parents are bad" I wrote this review as a counter to that review. I think we found one of the problem kids parents that were removed from this school. Do your research! Dont pay more for something that is inferior. You will have to figure out something better for High School if you live in this neighborhood. John Marshall is a joke even the teachers agree on that. (That School was renovated too but the quality of student there by in large is horrible) So the good time ends at grade 9.

This horrible school the kids are bullyed by not only kids but teachers .they dont allow kids to go to bathroom for hours they dont allow kids to finish eating they dont teach the students they allow other students to bully the other kids.they need to improve this school i would recommend this school.kids should want to go to school and learn not hate it because theyre being bully and not being taught
