Harmony Science Academy - Plano

Summary:

Harmony Science Academy - Plano is a public charter elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Plano, Texas. With a diverse student population and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, the school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the past few years, ranging from a high of 926 out of 4,675 Texas elementary schools in 2023-2024 to a low of 3,075 out of 4,578 in 2020-2021.

One of the key differentiators of Harmony Science Academy - Plano is its racial diversity, with a student body that is 36.97% African American, 21.44% Hispanic, 21.07% Asian, and 18.85% White. This is in contrast to nearby traditional public schools like Davis Elementary, Weatherford Elementary, and Centennial Elementary, which have higher percentages of White and Asian students. Additionally, Harmony Science Academy - Plano has a significantly higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students (63.4%) compared to nearby schools like Centennial Elementary (13.55%) and Saigling Elementary (18.73%).

While Harmony Science Academy - Plano has consistently ranked in the top quartile of Texas elementary schools for its African American and Hispanic student subgroups, outperforming the Plano Independent School District and the state averages, its rankings for Asian and White student subgroups are relatively lower. This suggests that the school may face unique challenges in supporting the academic and social-emotional needs of its diverse student population, particularly those from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

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.
