Honestly this school doesn't even deserve that 1 star- this school is awful and I would not recommend it to anyone ! Poor attendance! everyone is constantly grouchy, staff is ALWAYS nagging about minor BS such as Whereabouts even when you have PERMISSION. It's such an uncomfortable environment for me. I've attended 2 other high schools prior to this one and Harlem Rennsiaance is by far The worst experience I've ever endured in my 4 years of HS. there is NO MUTUAL RESPECT amoungs students, staff and let's not forget staff vs students. No organization what's so ever - This school is flat out ghetto. BEWARE IF YOU PLAN ON ATTENDED THIS SCHOOL!!!!!!!!
