Despite the school's relatively high spending per student ($14,081) and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.1 to 1, the data suggests that there may be opportunities for improvement in ensuring more consistent and equitable educational outcomes for all students at Harrisville Elementary. The lack of diversity in the student population and the variable academic performance may be factors to consider when analyzing the school's performance and identifying potential areas for improvement.
