I have had 4 children attend this school over the last 14 years. Each year that passes the school has degraded in the care and safety of the children. From teachers not even knowing if a student is present in class to out right letting children be bullied and doing nothing, this school needs some serious reorganization of its staff and priorities!

My son went to Harney Middle School last year and had the worst school year ever! I'm not saying that he was a saint but the staff was not trying at all. I guess they just seen him as another male not trying so why help him or contact me. When they did contract me it was almost to late. It just so happen that me and dad both work for the Clark County School District and we stayed on them and him. Me and my husband visit the school all the time and our son passed but he only passed because of our effort to help him not the staff. We have a great son but tends to need a little more help we told teachers that, we just wish they would have acted on that. The staff are really weak minded and tend to have lots of excuses.

I like the school and many students attending the school as well as all the teachers I know who have been assigned to teach my son, Alexijosh B. Baldazo. I am looking forward to having a parent-teacher conference next week to tell the teacher how happy I am that my son is attending Tim & Kathleen Harney Middle School. Close Quote
