General William H. Harrison Preparatory School

This school feels like a private school without the high price tag. My son has always been bored to death at school but now faces challenges that make him push himself to new learning. The staff and the principal are caring people who will work hard to make sure that kids are well taken care of. We feel lucky to have our student at a school where high academic rigor is the norm.

i am a student here, i love it, i am on this site because students need to be also, to help the adults understand us better, i say this but i am more of an adult in the way i act then i am a child. also this is the best school i have been to. i went to camas prairie in spanaway, also i went to park lodge, it is a school in lakewood also. but of all the schools this is the absolute best. it is very small, only 400 students in the entire school. no way it should get less than 5 stars!

This is a small truly progressive school based on principles founded on the Coalition of Essential Schools. It is excellent for students who are interested in science and technology and plan on being college ready. The one thing our family really likes is they do not tolerate disrespectful behavior or bullying. Mrs. Boyd the principal is very proactive as are the staff of young professionals. This school is not for everybody. It has students from 5th grade through 12th grade who are hard working and seeking a more rigorous academic environment but may enter the school struggling. This school was almost our last resort. We were tired of the bullying and lack of curriculum and help in other local public schools.
