Additionally, Harrisburg School District 7J has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (33.2% at Harrisburg High School), indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student population. The school's spending per student ($17,893 in 2021-2022) is higher than the state average, but this has not translated into improved academic performance, raising questions about the effectiveness of the school's resource allocation.
