Harvester Christian Academy Reviews

Academics are the main focal point after Christ, and are overall very good. They stopped offering AP classes after the 2020-2021 school year, so I wish they would introduce Dual Enrollment courses earlier (like 10th grade instead of 11th). I came to Harvester in 2018, and diversity has definitely increased since then. Some of the most amazing teachers I have ever met work here, and can say that I personally know several of them. Harvester is a college-preparatory school, so it's expected that you'll have an idea of what college is like. I wish athletics were a bit more rigorous, but given the size of our school and our number of teachers, the coaches do a fantastic job. Clubs are excellent, Music and Arts could be more emphasized, and safety is a priority (but needs some work concerning potential tornado warnings and school shootings). School Spirit is usually pretty high, Administration cares but needs to give greater notice for dates, and facilities could be improved upon.

I love harvester! I have seen amazing changes in my daughter since coming here! The staff is all amazing and they want to do everything they can to watch your child succeed! That is the most amazing feeling, having others behind you that want the same thing for your children!
The only thing I wish is that they would switch uniform company’s, that has been the biggest struggle this year just to get uniforms!

HCA is full of teachers and administrators who truly care about students. I've heard so many stories from families here about the staff who have gone above and beyond for their children. The academics, athletics and clubs rival those of much larger schools. We're blessed to be here!
