Harrisburg High School - SciTech Campus Reviews
Rating 4.1 out of 5 96 reviews
The best thing about Scitech is that the faculty treats us like their kids. Were one big family, meaning if you have any concerns, any worries you can talk to the faculty without having to be ashamed or embarrassed because they are kind and patient. Another thing about Scitech is that they're a little lenient with our freedom. We were allowed to have open lunches which meant going outside of school to eat, that's one of the perks and advantages of our school. Another perk is the outdoor activities like The Color Run which is a whole school participation, where we have runners that run for the community. And on their last round, we throw dust color packets. And it's just a fun colorful mess but also memories. One of the cons of Scitech is that it’s a lot of workload and homework, also in a fast-paced environment. Another con about Scitech is the slow Wi-Fi, sometimes it can be backed up. The last call about site Tech was about The dress code policy I don't like it and it's dumb.
I had a great experience here, it's a school for students who want to apply themselves and are interested in going to college. Teachers do a great job of preparing students for college.
I honestly love this school and all the opportunities it has bought me as well as to my attention. Although I do think that post COVID the school was kinda slipping I feel like we should've had more back up teachers like we do now because back when I was a 10th grader we didn't have any. There's a lot more stuff going on now that could've helped me and the senior class and it's like if we had that then we wouldn't have had to worry about some of the problems we are going through now.
