Harrisville Central School District

The Harrisville Central School District in New York consists of two schools: Harrisville Elementary School serving grades PK-6 and Harrisville Junior-Senior High School serving grades 7-12. While the junior-senior high school is a standout performer with a 4-star rating and strong test scores, the elementary school lags behind, with much lower test scores and a 2-star rating.

Harrisville Junior-Senior High School boasts a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, ranking 295 out of 1,242 New York high schools. Its students excel on Regents exams, with 41-92% proficiency across subject areas, outperforming state averages. In contrast, Harrisville Elementary School has a 2-star rating, ranking 1,734 out of 2,445 New York elementary schools, and its test scores fall below state and district averages, with only 22-52% of students proficient in ELA and 18-45% proficient in Math.

Both schools serve a relatively low-income student population, with over 50% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. While the junior-senior high school maintains a strong 84.3% four-year graduation rate, the elementary school's performance has declined, with its statewide ranking dropping from 1,199 to 1,734 over the past three years. Addressing the significant performance gap between the two schools and the high chronic absenteeism rate at the high school level could be key focus areas for the Harrisville Central School District.
