Harney Elementary stands out for its higher percentage of white students (85.91%) compared to nearby schools, which have more diverse student populations. Academically, the school's performance on ILEARN tests lags behind the district and state averages, with proficiency rates of 34.36% in English Language Arts and 48.21% in Math, versus the district's 42.18% and 41.19%, respectively.

Harney Elementary's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past decade, from 210 out of 1,036 Indiana elementary schools in 2013-2014 to its current ranking of 520 out of 1,010 in 2023-2024. When compared to other elementary schools in the Lebanon Community School Corporation, such as Perry Worth Elementary and Central Elementary, Harney Elementary generally underperforms in academic proficiency. These factors suggest that the school could benefit from targeted interventions and support to address its academic performance, chronic absenteeism, and the needs of its economically disadvantaged student population.

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.
