Good things about the school: diversity & family-like friends. They offer dual credits, free TSI testing, SAT testing, & a low cost for an AP test. Bad things: teachers don't know how to teach. They struggle financially, the students spend pocket money to buys snacks, etc to sell to other students to gain money. They spend more money on GT field trips & other things. When we have good events the students are required to pay lots of money for the event to occur. Some administrators don't do anything in the school, for example, all the principle does: check dress code & suspend students for things like eating noodles in the hallway(it actually happened). They wait for the last weeks of school to start taking rules seriously, they wait for something bad to happen before they can address situations that could've been prevented, don't plan anything well & wait until the last minute to announce something. The school could be better if they had better administrators & teachers.
Harmony School of Business has been a very good school academically. They offer many options for those who want to get ahead and are able to accommodate. Through their connection with Collin College, they are able to offer many dual credit courses and provide the courses and textbooks for free to all those who pass their courses. I am currently on-track to get my Associate's degree. They also offer different "pathways" for all high schoolers like biomedical sciences to help students learn and prepare for when they leave. They are also focus on college readiness. I have also had a very positive experience with their small classroom sizes that are more personalized. However, the social aspects of the school are lacking. They have some clubs, but few join and most are also academic. They also don't offer many sports and there isn't a lot of school spirit. Even if events are planned, they usually end up being extremely chaotic with only a small group of people participating.
HSB is a good school for students who enjoy learning in classes of small size. Students get to receive individual attention from teachers which is difficult for those in other high schools with a high amount of students. Because the school is relatively new, there are not a lot of resources or activities available. I would like for them to expand these lack of resources and serve better food in the cafeteria. Overall, my experience at Harmony has been pleasant due to the friendly community within the school as well as the individual attention I get from teachers.
