The school is fine, and the lunch is okay. I like the teachers; they're very engaging and respectful, but they're lacking in numbers. In my 2nd year, I didn't have a Spanish teacher for the whole semester, just a substitute who didn't do anything but sit there. In my third year, we didn't have a teacher for two of my classes for the first four weeks of school. I like the campus, it's nice. I feel like we don't have enough time to get from class to class. There are a lot of AP classes that I enjoy, and you can start taking them in 9th grade.
There is also a fight every day.

The teachers are alright, but the classes don't have a challenge. They are basic classes. Most electives aren't useful for the life ahead. The food is alright. Overall, I would not recommend.

This school is alright but i recommend other schools. My child has been bullied and his test scores have been decreasing lately. It makes me feel bad for enrolling him in this school. The teachers do not care about teaching and i'm so sorry if your child is in this school. I do not recommend taking your child here. Also the food is bad.

see previous comment I like this school and it is a good place to attend if you are serious about your learning.

My daughter attended there all 4 years as an IB student. I like the rigorous courses they offer, because students need to be prepared for college, and this school did that.
The PTA and Band Association were great, except that they need more parental support to help get many more positive things going on at the school.
The news always show the negative about Harding, but there were many positive things that went on-Fall Festival-the students put on a Fall Festival and many families came out to support it. The homecomings-every year students who used to attend the school would come back and participate. It was nice to see those who attended come back to support the school-it's like a family!
I hate that many teachers leave the school-they need to be a support to the children!
Harding University is a school for students who care about their learning-and they will receive it if they focus on their learning and not the negative things, because all schools have something negative about them. It is what you as students, staff, and parents do to make the school a positive place to attend!

Since the regime change at Harding, and with the new pending enrollment status changes, things are about to get worse than they already are at Harding. The students do not care to learn, nor do they behave in any way shape or form. Furthermore, the administration does not enforce rules fairly. They play favorites with both teachers and students. For the most part, the teachers are efficient. But this school does not look for the students' best interest.
