I went to Harrington for three years 3rd-5th and I would have to Say I loved it; it was fun inclusive and had so many fun things to do! My favorite teacher was Ms. Lafayette, who was so kind and smart she really taught well. If you can send your child to this school is highly recommend it!!! Mission possible, morning announcements, and all sorts of fun events are many reasons why I love this school!
