Harrison School

Administration sweats the small stuff, not the big stuff. For the second year in a row, administration decided to enforce the dress code starting in the middle of the year, not the start of the year. I fully support the dress code, and in fact would support school uniforms. But inconsistent enforcement of the dress code creates confusion and allows kids to talk parents into buying non-code compliant items, like ripped jeans that are later banned, as what happened shortly after the start of 2nd semester. Teachers overall are OK. Some are good, a few border on mediocre. There seems to be an extra focus on math achievement, which is good.

This school is understaffed and overwhelmed. There is a serious bully problem that is often blamed on the victims. There is a theft problem due to no lockers. To serious issues, the staff seems to turn the other cheek, but if a child is found with holes in the knees of their pants, he/she will be sent home. Priorities and politics are backwards in this school.
