Harlem High School Reviews
Rating 3.62 out of 5 306 reviews
During my time at Harlem High School, I have had the opportunity to explore my interests, both inside and outside the classroom. The school has provided me with a supportive environment that has allowed me to develop my skills and talents. One of the things that I appreciate most about Harlem High School is the diversity of its student body. I have had the chance to interact with people from different backgrounds and cultures, which has broadened my perspective and helped me become more open-minded. In addition to the academic curriculum, Harlem High School offers a wide range of extracurricular activities, including sports, music, drama, and community service. These activities have allowed me to pursue my interests and develop my leadership skills. My experience at Harlem High School has been incredibly positive. I am grateful for the opportunities that the school has provided me and I am confident that the skills and knowledge that I have gained will serve me well in the future.
I only truly struggled in the Harlem school district during COVID and school was online. I did not thrive at all in the isolated environment. I loved school. I liked the routine, playing sports and seeing my friends. When suddenly everything was taken away. I struggled with a lot of anxiety during this time.
After school started back up, it wasn’t the same. It felt more secluded than when I was stuck at home. I hated going to school. It became so much harder for me because things were more online. I didn’t realize how grateful I was for school until these last couple months as I’m going through my last moments as a highschooler. I wished I had gotten the full experience because things weren’t “normal” until my junior year. As a senior looking back I am so grateful for the experience I got from my high school. They helped shape me as a person and take pride in myself. The Education Pathway I am in will always have an extremely special place in my heart. Thank you Harlem High School.

Harlem High School is averagely diverse. About half of the school population is white and then the other half is mixed with different races such as Hispanic, Black, and Asian. The school staff does try their best with helping bring the students together to stop discrimination, but there are still some problems towards race. The school in my opinion doesn't help or encourage the students graduate on time and with the best grades possible.
