Summary

Harmony Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 288 students in the Mount Baker School District in Bellingham, WA, operating as a relative academic strength within its lower-performing district.

The school shows a mixed performance profile with clear strengths and challenges. It notably outperforms its district averages, especially in science where it also beats the state average, and its math scores are a strong point relative to the district. However, a significant and unusual gender gap exists, with male students performing much higher than female students. Performance also varies widely by grade, with 5th grade showing strength but a concerning drop in 6th grade. Historically, serving special education students has been an area of weakness.

Compared to nearby schools like Silver Beach Elementary or Meridian Parent Partnership Program, Harmony Elementary spends significantly more per student but achieves middle-tier academic results, raising questions about resource efficiency. Among schools with similar levels of student economic need, such as Roosevelt Elementary and Irene Reither Elementary, Harmony's performance is reasonably competitive.

This was a great school! I attended along with my sister. My Mom and Aunt also attended before the old building was torn down. Ms Webb, 3rd grade teacher during my years was EXCELLENT. Still my favorite teacher of all time to this day. (K-12 + college) Close Quote
