Frank H Harrison Middle School

I find that the values set for the chidren at the Frank Harrison Middle School " Dress Code" Appaling, To teach a child that you are judged on your appearance, and what you wear is just wrong ! I do not agree with revealing clothing, etc. The way it is worded to the children in my opinion teaches them to be snobs, and to look down on others that may not have the means to get brand name clothing or what is considered to be cool or appropiate. America is of many cultures, Children should not be taught to judge others. They should be taught respect, and that we are not all a like! I further more do not understand the concept of asking the student what they would like to do ? Why aren't the rules of the school being enforced ? Why are the students making the decisions ? I further more think that the staff of the school has inapropate behavior and seem to treat other people as they are beneath them , they seem to have no respect for others and make the decisions as to what they believe rather then working for the goal of the student. I'm sorry , I have a hard time even giving this school 1 star. I would like to see if this get posted or deleted. Thank you

What a great school this is. This is easily the best school in Maine and Falmouth and Cape Elizabeth don't even compare. Best sports, best art program, best academics, you can easily see that this is the school for your child.

This school is amazing, it has great teachers and great students. Yes, we are very proud of our sports and we have some very good sports programs. There are some labels but come on! there are labels in every school you go to. I think Harrison Middle School is a great school for my children.

We have had a wonderful experience at Harrison Middle School. The kids and teachers are great. The family involvement is all that it should be.

Harrison prides itself on being one of the best middle schools in Maine. I believe the parents and wonderful student body make it great. Sports here are tops, they rule, if it is not here you can ask for it and you will receive it. Soon we will have football k-12 (it is available already at the Middle School) If academics is more what you are curious about then pick Falmouth, Cumberland, or Cape Elizabeth. Children are labled here and treated accordingly. All average students here are invisible. All special needs children are treated with the utmost respect and given exemplary help. Where does your child fit in this scope? Music/art a huge here with a period selected just for band, and chorus. Watch out though if your child is interested in a string or woodwind there is NOOOOOOO program for them. They are discouraged from participating. They will receive zero appreciation.
