Our read on Harvest Christian School
School Needs Significant Improvement in Core Academics
ERO's review of Harvest Christian School found a warm and inclusive school community, but raised serious enough concerns about the quality of education that they referred the school to the Ministry of Education for potential intervention. While students with additional needs are well supported and relationships between staff and students are positive, achievement in writing and mathematics is low, and the school has not been tracking student progress over time in a reliable way. A new principal has been appointed and the school now has a clear improvement plan to work through.
