DONT SEND YOUR KIDS HERE!!! My kids literally cried every day when they had to go back to this terrible school, we moved after half the year because it was so awful! No recess-EVER! One of my kids teachers would have them walk around the classroom and do wall sits for their recess- its ridiculous! Silent lunches where the staff will turn out the lights and have the kids put their heads on the table. My kids brought sodas in their lunches a few times and the staff would see the soda and take it away from them and dump it out! Nowhere did it say my kids werent allowed to bring soda in their lunches. Parents arent welcome-EVER! You cant come eat lunch with your kids or come to class parties, or help out in the classroom. Harris Hill is where fun learning died. My kids called the school Harris Hell- really that explains it all.

This is a great school. I would recommend anyone to send their kids to this school. They have an excellent communication method.

My childs test scores have not changed since the start of K which to me means they are not teaching but trying to lower the kids to get more state funding.

My child thinks she is a failure. No child should feel this way.

Teaching should be priority not trying to get state funding.

This school is great with minor disabilities but awful with the smarter children.

I hear there is a problem but I have not had that experience among children. I do feel the teachers are bulling the parents to label kids so they can get more state funding.

Awful. I would like something done about the school so my child may receive an education. It is nothing but day care at the school. My child is smart and deserves an education.

Parents BEWARE! This school offers no recess, SILENT lunches. The staff turns off the lights in lunch room if they kids are talking too loudly. They want no parental involvement other than if you're in the PTA. I have been incredibly disappointed with this school. We definitely will be switching for next year.
