We moved from a very good school district to the Harrisburg School district in 2021. Perhaps it was due to post COVID and readjustment to back to normal but the school system was not impressive. My kids worked hard and were accepted into SciTech for the 2022 school year. Within the first week, they love heading out to school. My kids made new friends, the environment is conducive towards learning, which is a big difference from the previous school. Again its the only the first week but I like what I see. The teachers are great and the Principal is amazing. Scitech is a bright spot for the Harrisburg School district!
