Kathleen & Tim Harney Middle School

"If I could rate lower I would!!! This is by far the worst school my kids have been in and we travel with work so they have been to a few schools. The teachers are ridiculous and i honestly think do not care. I have left voicemails emails and messages and have never gotten a return call from any of them! W have dealt with 4 diffrent cases of bullying and I finally had to go to the dean's office myself. I appreciate the lady in the dean's office that took the time to listen and did take care of one of the problems. The kids here are rude and disrespectful as is the staff. None of them look like you can approach them or you might get yelled at. By far the worst school ever!!!! Run if you can. I'm so glad it's time to move again so my son doesn't have to get in my car crying anymore this year!!!!"

"This school is trash and i highly recommend applying for a different school as Harney lacks the proper information for math, reading, science, etc. All of the teachers lack the enthusiasm to motivate kids as well. Multiple students would agree and would also like to recommend another school for your kids."

"The school itself is about average, but the teachers are a different story. Depending on whether you are chosen to be put in accelerated classes or not changes the experience you have learning. From my experience so far, I’ve heard of teachers who are at the quite low end of the spectrum who teach ‘developmental’ classes (Which I have heard before was the name for regular classes). But I’ve learned from teachers who actually want to help you succeed in accelerated classes, you get them if you show the potential and ability of wanting of learn (Or selecting an elective that promotes college readiness and AP classes such as AVID). If you are looking into this school to spend a good couple of years with, hope for AP classes or I wish you good luck in developmental."

"I feel like I could rant all day long about my experience in Harney, because it's terrible. The students are somewhat nice and less agitating than some I've encountered in other schools but the teachers and staff are unbelievable. A majority of teachers I have already dislike me in the first year of me attending this school. Other reviews have talked about how mean the teachers are, but not to mention, also very petty and unprofessional. Asking a simple question to a teacher can provoke them for no reason at all and certain teachers may even call you out on it. This is extremely rude towards the student and also unnecessary because they are a TEACHER. They are here to educate us and answer our questions. I've had this occur to me several times in only a few weeks of school. Speaking of unnecessary, I've encountered a teacher who mocked my question days later. Professional? I don't think so. These behaviors can take a negative effect on my peers, considering that students should be able to come up to their teacher or administrators for personal issues and concerns, especially if said student feels discontent with the school counselor. This not only takes and effect of our education, but also on our mental health. Trust me, I don't like teachers getting salty with me because I pop a fly or I forget to circle the coefficient on my bad days. In conclusion, I do not recommend this school to you (if you are a student) or your child (if you are a parent). I would suggest you to indulge into other middle schools if you'd like to have a more pleasant experience with the adults, coming from a student."

"I love harney there is not that much fights like some other schools but yes their is bullying and fighting sometimes but really everyone get along well and some teachers are mean but their is some that are really nice i hope some kids will go to this school its really good."
