If I could give it zero stars that's what I would do. My child came to the vice principal about an issue with a teacher. An issue of an adult nature, they conducted a 6 hour investigation and say my child is lying. And now my child is being removed from the school for speaking out! I encourage any parents who have had ANY problems with this school to PLEASE contact the board of education. My child is being vilified and victimized at the same time! PLEASE DON'T BE SILENT! TAKE ACTION!

Parents and most kids are very nice and relatable! The secretary is 100% amazing! If it wasn't for the resource room teacher and the vice principal.... It's would be a good school. On a scale of 1-10 it was definitely a 1!!

We are at Harvard now and have had nothing but problems. My son is constantly bullied by both the students AND his teachers. Getting a child assessed for intervention services is a joke. The principal is inept and lies. I am currently doing everything in my power to get my children OUT of that school and into a place that actually cares. This used to be one of the best schools in the TPS district. Now it's a big joke.

My son attended this school for kindergarten...even tho the schools state testing is below the national average...the staff is amazing & think the school is moving in a better direction than in the past...the principal is amazing & think he will continue to take this school where it needs to be...my son enjoyed his first year here but we have moved into a surrounding town so he will be changing schools but I want to give the school the recognition it deserves...i was proud to be a Husky & sad to go but I will continue my son's education elsewhere but not due to anything the school did...its just too far from where we live now

I have seen wonderful things from this school in the present time. As a new family to the area that moved here from NYC I'm excited to see what happens over the years at this gorgeous unique castle (aka school)! Such rich diversity in the neighborhood and I've witnessed several new young families flocking in to Harvard from cities all over as they see great things happening in Toledo and this area isn't just a beanfield scattered with similar looking homes and character.

I am so happy that I brought my student here! After many negative feelings about the old principal, the welcoming atmosphere and caring attitude of the administration and staff is so opposite that. I am very impressed with the respectful attitude that is expected from all. I love seeing my daughter learning and actually enjoying it! I just had a wonderful conference with the teachers.Thank you Harvard!

Love this school! Junior high teachers are awesome, they work together and kids go from one class to another like the old junior high schools. I still feell like the kids are missing out on home ec and industrial arts though,

This school is need of a new principal. I feel she has a lack of respect for parents as well as shows favortisim towards children. She has not followed laws set forth by our State regarding bullying and does not take responsibilty for her actions as she has blamed someone else whenever we have problems. I have hired an attorney to look into this school and have wrote the state board. I will be putting my children elsewhere next year!
