The school is part of the Los Angeles Unified School District, which is ranked 796 out of 1,565 districts in California and has a 2-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger.

Harmony Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 20% of California elementary schools, with its students performing significantly below the state and district averages on standardized tests across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 25% of Harmony Elementary students were proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics, compared to 48.81% and 37.3% statewide, respectively. The school's performance is particularly low for English Language Learner (ELL) students, who rank in the bottom 10% of California ELL students. Additionally, Harmony Elementary has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 20.4% to 30.8% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state and district averages.
