so far, the high school is the best part of Harmony Science Academy the middle school needs to work on it by lowering the number of students also they need to hire more PE teachers one teacher isn't enough the principal has a good relationship with the staff but poorly with the students and the parents.

This year, ( Year 2023) my 5 year old daughter's first day of school was turned into a horriffic nightmare. My husband and I went to pick up my kindergarten daughter at dismissal time on the first day of school. Apparently, she was not there. The staff was standing outside the parking lot telling us to keep making rounds around the school until we see our daughter outside. Because they were concerned about having too much traffic getting held up in the middle of the parking lot. So we made our first round. After that, on our second round they told us they are bringing our daughter and then they began sending some random girl into our car and told us our daughter is coming. When we looked behind us, they were sending another girl into our car. We told them that's not our daughter and that girl said those are not my parents. After we made the third round, we became so stressed out trying to find our daughter, wondering what they did with her. I went inside the school anxiously looking for my daughter and I finally found her. In the meantime, Ms. Merchant, the principal of Harmony Science Academy came to my car, and began telling my husband to make a 4th round. My husband told her I have already made 3 rounds and nobody knows where my daughter is, and refused to make the 4th round. He was worried about what happen to his daughter? Was she also put in the wrong car with some random person? My husband refused to make the 4th round and told the principal, bring me my daughter back. Ms. Merchant, principal of Harmony Science Academy School, was not supportive or understanding with us in that kind of stressful situation. Instead, she threatened us that she will expel my daughter from this school if we dont listen to her? She literally said that! We were so hurt by her response. We did not have any idea what we did wrong and what our little girl had done wrong in that situation. Did we deserve to be told that by the principal??? Later on, the principal called us and told us how "NORMAL" it is for them to send wrong kids to wrong cars. We were so hurt that we became totally disheartened from sending her to Harmony Science Academy of Sugarland. A School where our daughter's safety and security was compromised and could be again in the future.

this school is the worst, I took my kid here and they hated it. Kids where making fun of them for the smallest things and not only that but a teacher was making weird inappropriate comments about multiple students. Don’t believe people when they say this school is the best for education, some teachers don’t even teach. If you want your kid to hate their life take them to harmony

Me encanta el apoyo y atención que tienen los maestros en cuanto observan una bajada de calificación en los alumnos

My daughter studied at this school for 4 years and got many AP courses. Her SAT average is higher than 1500. I am very proud of my daughter and her teachers.

I entered the Harmony Public School system in middle school and spent four glorious years at Harmony Science Academy. This school helped me get into my dream school and I am a proud Harmony alum studying at the University of Pennsylvania.Teachers who work for HSA are all well-educated and always there to help. Some of my greatest friends today are my high school teachers who have always been there to help us become multifaceted, contributing members of the society. Unlike my previous schools, this campus offers a multicultural environment where everyone feels safe and comfortable. Many of my instructors were physics, math, and history prodigies who loved teaching. The tight-knit community always welcomes new perspectives and expects all students to ask, challenge, and learn.Being a Harmony student takes talent, intelligence and most importantly hard work! They practically offer all available AP courses and actually prepare you for the end of the year exams. Teachers, given their age and experience, are always able to relate to students and expand their worldly view.In terms of facilities, rainbow colored buildings and classrooms are constant reminders to be happy. Buildings are always clean and well kept thanks to their dedicated cleaning staff.If you are interested in STEM and even humanities, this is THE right school. I am forever thankful to all of my Harmony teachers who taught me to chase my dreams and success.

My son had a bitter experience when he was In the Kindergarden!!! He used to get hit by the other student in front of his teacher who had no experience at all. In addition, the school was so small,boring, and lack activity that should instill inquisitiveness inside the student, so i moved my baby from the school that supposed to be better than HISD. Do not register your babies in it .

This school is supposed to be a *science* academy, but the majority of their science teachers are inexperienced and cannot speak English properly. The select few who can apparently take maternity leave just before AP exams, leaving her students with a random substitute. Teachers who cannot get their maternity leave in the middle of the year at other schools, come to teach at HSA Houston.

I'm actually a former student of Harmony Science in San Antonio. Long story short-- it's terrible!!! The teachers are sexist, they helped a boy in my class with a smile on there face, and when I asked them a question, they looked at me with a blank stare and as if I was nothing and just nodded. Well thanks! Idk if Houston's the same way, but I'd rather stay on the safe side!
