With only one school in the district, there are no direct comparisons to be made. However, the data suggests that while South Harrison Elementary School performs well in some areas, such as low chronic absenteeism, it faces challenges in others, particularly in certain grade levels and subject areas where student proficiency rates fall below state averages. The school's predominantly white student population may also indicate a need to explore ways to promote greater diversity and inclusion within the school community.
