The school is part of the Forest Grove School District 15, which is ranked 90 out of 140 districts in Oregon and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Harvey Clarke Elementary School has consistently ranked in the top half of Oregon elementary schools, with a ranking between 101 and 288 over the past 10 years. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school ranked 265 out of 710 Oregon elementary schools and received a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance in English Language Arts and Mathematics is generally higher than the district and state averages.

The school also performs well in serving Hispanic students and students with special education needs, ranking in the top 25% and top 10% of Oregon elementary schools, respectively, in recent years.

While Harvey Clarke Elementary School is a solid-performing school, there are some areas for improvement.

Additionally, the nearby Dilley Elementary School consistently outperforms Harvey Clarke Elementary, suggesting that there may be opportunities for the school to learn from and collaborate with its higher-performing counterpart within the same district. Overall, Harvey Clarke Elementary School is a good option for families in the Forest Grove area, but the school could benefit from focusing on strategies to better support its population of low socioeconomic status students.

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.
