Harrison Elementary School

Summary:

Harrison Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 674 students in grades K-5 in the Southwest Local School District in Harrison, Ohio. The school consistently performs above the state average on Ohio State Tests, particularly in Mathematics and Science, and excels in supporting students with special needs and from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

Harrison Elementary School's academic performance is generally on par with or exceeds that of other nearby schools, such as John Foster Dulles Elementary and Charles W Springmyer Elementary in the Oak Hills Local School District. However, Crosby Elementary School, another school in the Southwest Local District, consistently outperforms Harrison Elementary and the state average in most academic areas.

Additionally, the school has a relatively homogeneous student population, with over 90% of students identifying as White, which is in contrast to some nearby schools, such as Colerain Elementary in the Northwest Local School District, which has a more diverse student body.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

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.
