We are fortunate to be a part of the wonderful school! We are finishing our 5th year there so we were among the group of students and parents that started the school. We have that special connection with the school and the staff. We truly see it as a "family." The opportunities and expectations of the students is wonderful. You will not find a more dedicated group of teachers than at Harmony-Waco. My children are constantly involved in something, therefore leaving less time to engage in other nonproductive things. We have experienced both private and public schools, but Harmony is definitely our top choice. I have always experienced nothing but support from the administration and my concerns have been quickly addressed. I take the time to meet and get to know the staff and they do the same. Needless to say, we are proud to be a part of the HSA-Waco family!

This school is not as good as it pretends to be. While math and science are emphasized, other subjects suffer, and the administration fails to support teachers of English and social studies. Students do not turn in their homework and teachers are unable to teach properly. The year we left, the principal was completely absent, to the point where students speculated as to whether there was a principal. The students are primarily slackers, and those who are there for the academics suffer.

If you live near Waco, Texas, you should seriously consider applying to Harmony Science Academy Waco. My family is finishing our second year at HSA Waco. We have been very happy with the dedication of the faculty, administration, staff, and parents. Harmony Schools have been rated in the Top 100 Best High Schools in the US for several years. HSA Waco was selected as a Top 100 Middle Schools in Texas for 2010-2011, as well as a TEA Exemplary School. The school is small, but has plans to expand, including the possibility of a second Waco campus. The sense of community among enrolled families is outstanding. Drugs are simply not tolerated, and good character is strongly encouraged. High school students will quickly tell you the curriculum is academically demanding. The parents of these high school students will tell you that the HSA program equals Waco High's Athens Program or Vanguard's program. Some rumors were spread that HSA Schools were Moslem "private" schools. This is definitely not the case. While people of all faiths work and study together at Harmony, this is a secular, state government-funded charter school. All religions are respected, but none are promoted.

I love knowing more than just my child's teacher, and she feels comfortable talking with the adminstrators as well as other teachers. The teachers are committed to encouraging all students.

The teachers and staff work tremendously hard to focus on the childrens' education, health and sense of being. Being a small school, all staff learn the names of the children and reconize their parents. This creates a core body to help in getting needed facilities and supplies through school monies and through fundraising.
