Harmony Elementary School

Summary:

Harmony Elementary School is a public elementary school in Vancouver, Washington, serving 469 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Evergreen School District. This school consistently outperforms the district and state averages in academic proficiency, particularly among specific student subgroups.

Harmony Elementary School's academic performance is a standout, with 47.62% of students proficient or better in SBAC/English Language Arts, compared to 39.31% for the district and 52.63% for the state. In SBAC/Math, Harmony had 42.67% proficient or better, outpacing the district's 30.37% and the state's 41.68%. The school's strong performance extends to specific subgroups, such as Hispanic students ranking 252 out of 651 Washington elementary schools and English Language Learner students ranking 66 out of 320. This success may be attributed to the significant increase in per-student spending at Harmony, from $8,770 in 2019-2020 to $18,744 in 2021-2022.

While Harmony Elementary School's academic achievements are impressive, its statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 216 out of 1,053 Washington elementary schools in 2015-2016 to 605 out of 1,168 in 2023-2024. This suggests the school's performance, though still above the district and state averages, may not be keeping pace with other high-performing schools in the state. Additionally, the school's racial demographics have shifted, with a decrease in White students and an increase in Hispanic and Pacific Islander students. When compared to nearby schools, such as Illahee Elementary, Harmony generally outperforms in academic proficiency, but some schools in the Evergreen School District have significantly higher proficiency rates across multiple subjects and grade levels.

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.

Open Quote Excellent principal with great leadership skills focused on students learning and abilities. She brings teachers and parents together by being a mediator to resolve any issues. Harmony also has highly qualified and enthusiastic teachers that care about their students success. Close Quote

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.
