Harahan School appears to be a relatively strong performer compared to the district and state averages, particularly in English Language Arts. The school's 2023-2024 proficiency rates in ELA for all grades (70%) exceed the Jefferson Parish (61%) and Louisiana (69%) averages. Additionally, the school's 7th and 8th grade ELA proficiency rates are significantly higher than the district and state, at 85% and 75% respectively. In Algebra I and English I end-of-course exams, Harahan School had very high proficiency rates of 92% and 100% in 2022-2023, far outpacing the district and state. However, the school's math performance generally lags behind the state averages in many grade levels, an area that could use improvement.
Harahan School has a diverse student population, with 45.22% White, 29.09% African American, and 16.56% Hispanic students. Additionally, 60.3% of the school's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic need. While the school's statewide ranking has declined over the past 3 years, from 321 out of 727 elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 396 out of 675 in 2023-2024, its 2-star rating from SchoolDigger suggests there is room for improvement in the school's overall performance.
