The administration should not be trusted with the safety and welfare of your child. Harvest elementary states “ We will promote a safe, orderly and supportive environment” this is false. Despite bringing constant complaints of harassment, bullying, violence, assault and battery and students bringing weapons to school the only thing done is “progressive action” meaning we will talk to the student and the parents. Besides that, nothing further is being done by the principal and staff. We’ve had local law enforcement contacted several times with no action. Children shouldn’t be questioning wether the staff have their best interest or will protect them while they’re there but this is the case. If something occurs at the school, parents won’t be notified. Think twice before sending your child here.

I moved my child from a charter school to here. This school has surpassed my expectations as a parent. My child is thriving. The school is very quick to respond when there is a question. I love all the school activities that include family. They are very welcoming. The teachers are awesome. The leadership at Harvest is always present when there is a school activity which speaks volumes. I would very much recommend Harvest School to any parents. The only thing I'm not to happy about is there is no nurse on staff on most days. But security wise perfect. My childs education is the best it has ever been. Which is very surprising coming from a smaller class size to regular number of students.

Harvest has improved so much over the last year. They have an awesome Principal this year who is very supportive. The teachers have worked really hard this last year and thier scores prove it. Thank you for all you do for our kids! You are appreciated!!

Office staff is no help, no one speaks spanish and there are a lot of Hispanic families there, Teachers well some are awesome others run the classes like boot camps and pick there favorites,Principal is horriable cant ever help you with anything.Hope to move my children out soon. The only reason parents don't volunteer is cause the school doesn't appreciate anything.
