Not sure about the other comments, maybe past administration, but Dr. Williams is a great principal and I feel her number one priority is the safety and education of the children. All schools have flaws, but parents should volunteer or get involved so they can truly see the ins and outs of the school system. The teachers here are all great and I have never had a problem when contacting James H Harrison for any reason.

Terrible.Why so harsh, you are teachers, I understand a job teaching brings stress but they are children. The teachers i meet in here,terrible rude and unacceptable. I visited once and overheard one of the teachers threaten a student and told the study they were going to hit them,Terrible.

the principal needs to get some training, she lacks the people skills required to lead the school. I am so happy to be moving near a better school for my children next year.

My daughter is currently a kindergarten student at James Harrison and so far, we love the school and her teacher! She was already reading small words when she first began attending here, but now she is doing VERY WELL with her reading and her handwriting has improved greatly. My youngest child is 4 and will also attend here for Kindergarten next year. Now, I can say so far the administration seems to want to do a good job, but I haven't had a great experience with their response times to specific issues I've run into in using the online School MAX program. Luckily my child's teacher is great with communicating outside of this tool, so I don't think I've missed much. As time passes, I'll gladly update on our experience moving forward.
