Harrison Elementary consistently outperforms the district and state in academic proficiency across various grade levels and subjects. In the 2023-2024 school year, 76.1% of 6th-grade students at Harrison were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to 59.9% in the district and 74.5% statewide. This consistent academic performance is particularly noteworthy given the school's relatively high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 47.24% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Harrison's racial diversity, with a student population that is 56.1% White, 16.93% African American, 12.01% Hispanic, and 2.56% Asian, is also higher than some nearby schools like McKinley Elementary and Madison Elementary.

Schools like Jefferson Elementary and Madison Elementary have significantly lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics, suggesting that Harrison may be providing a more robust educational experience for its students. The factors contributing to Harrison's academic success are not entirely clear, but could include effective teaching practices, strong leadership, and targeted interventions or support programs for students.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
