Summary:
The West Harrison Community School District in Iowa has only one elementary school, West Harrison Elementary, which serves grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 161 students.
West Harrison Elementary's academic performance shows a mixed picture, with strong proficiency rates in 4th and 5th grade ELA but below-average scores in 3rd and 4th grade math and 5th grade science. The school's 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate of 46.2% is significantly lower than the state average of 64.2%. However, the school's 5th grade ELA proficiency rate of 84.6% is significantly higher than the state average of 68.3%. The school's spending per student of $17,239 is higher than the state average, but it's unclear if this higher spending is translating into improved academic outcomes.
West Harrison Elementary's SchoolDigger ranking has steadily declined over the past three school years, from 368 out of 574 Iowa elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 426 out of 557 in 2023-2024, suggesting the school may be struggling to keep pace with other elementary schools in the state. Additionally, the school's high free/reduced lunch rate of 54.66% indicates that a majority of its students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, which can present additional challenges for the school and its students.
