The school is great but there is one teacher sub who we have because our teacher is in surgery right now who took me out of the hall way and told me to reschedule all my appointments to B days because Spanish is the most important class… I was out at first block because I had to meet my prescribing doctor because one of my medicines that is used to save my life (asthma) wasn’t working well and we needed it fixed. I feel genuinely disgusted about him and a lot of other students share my sentiments. I am not in control of my schedule and even if I was my home life is none of his business. I feel ashamed when I have to walk into his class because I worry what he will do today. Another issue is that racism is rampant, not among the students but among the teachers. I am not saying all of them are it is just a weirdly larger amount are then there should or just be none at all in my opinion

Project based learning is really just the same amount of tests with stressful projects that ruin your grade

Black students are treated poorly by teachers, staff, and other students.

I've sent two of my children through Harmony, with one there now. One of them is autistic, and their SPED program with Ms. Bosse has been a real blessing for him. We moved to the area mostly for the school system, to support our autistic son, and the result has been wonderful to see. My other child does very well here as well. The Principle is firm and on top of things, the office staff are quite professional and efficient, with appropriate concern over security. (ID at the door, buzz in) There are really good extracurricular activities, particularly Chorus in our experience. The school went virtual when it was required to, and made the best of that situation, and is now back in person full time thankfully.

I am so disappointed in this school - the staff is not worried about teaching the kids they just want to brag that they are a project based learning school. All that means is the kids have a ton of projects to do all the time, not a lot of real teaching is going on at this school.

I love this school. My son is in 6th grade and they have really helped him adjust. The school counselors are great, the nurse is wonderful. Everyone I have come across has been caring, enthusiastic with teaching and sharing experiences, and willing to work with us to help our son succeed.

We couldn't be happier with this school. Just wish my other two would have had the opportunity to go here as well. It makes my daughter feel so good how the the teachers, counselors, administration, principal all know her. They know her name, her likes and dislikes, her passion, her personality. They actually get to know the individual child which makes learning and teaching an amazing experience.

Overall, consider talking to your staff about respecting parents as well as their own students. They are not above anyone.

Both of my kids were significantly injured during gym class. No structure, it’s more like recess and survival of the fittest with kids running wild!

If I could do it all over again my child would never have gone here & next year I'm going to see about the other middle school or even homeschooling. This school is so damaging that everyone there should be replaced with someone who knows how to do their job because at that school the only experience you will receive is a BAD one!

The teachers are rude and the school does nothing about bullying. My granddaughter comes home every day crying from boys making fun of her. I am very disappointed in this school, I sent her here since we moved it was a big mistake I am making her go to blue ridge now.

Harmony has been a middle school for just three years. They earned School to Watch the first year they were eligible. The Principal is awesome. Knows each of his students by name. Inspires the best in his teachers and staff. Encourages and consistently supports parental involvement.

The teachers are enthusiastic and dedicated. My daughter looks forward to going to school each day. Excellent facilities with a community that really cares about students and family.
