The school is part of the North Harrison Community School Corporation, which is ranked 83 out of 381 school districts in Indiana and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

North Harrison Elementary School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (93.88%) compared to the state average and nearby schools, with a lower percentage of minority students. Academically, the school's performance, as measured by ILEARN test scores, is generally lower than the district and state averages, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (41.24%) and Math (53.28%) below the district's scores. Additionally, the school has a higher chronic absenteeism rate (11.4%) and a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (49.76%) compared to the state average and some nearby schools.

When comparing North Harrison Elementary School to other nearby schools, such as Morgan Elementary, which is in the same school district, the latter consistently outperforms North Harrison Elementary in academic measures. This suggests that there may be opportunities for North Harrison Elementary to learn from the practices and strategies employed at Morgan Elementary. Furthermore, North Harrison Elementary School's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past several years, indicating the need to re-evaluate instructional practices and implement targeted interventions to improve student outcomes. The school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, coupled with the lower academic performance, suggests that the school may need to address socioeconomic factors that can impact student learning.

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.
