Summary

Harney Elementary School is a public K-5 school serving 538 students in the Vancouver School District, located in a neighborhood with significant economic need where about 69% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school faces considerable challenges, currently ranking in the bottom 10% of elementary schools in Washington state and showing a significant decline in its statewide ranking over the past decade. While its proficiency rates in English, math, and science are in the lower-middle tier compared to ten nearby schools, it performs notably better than the lowest-performing schools like Roosevelt Elementary School and Washington Elementary, but lags far behind top performers such as Vancouver Innovation Technology and Arts Elementary and Lincoln Elementary School.

Interesting comparisons reveal that Harry S Truman Elementary School and Minnehaha Elementary School serve students with similar economic backgrounds but achieve higher academic results, suggesting factors beyond demographics are at play. Harney operates with a higher student-teacher ratio and lower per-student spending than several nearby schools that outperform it. A notable bright spot is that science is Harney's strongest subject relative to district and state averages, though performance in upper-grade math is a particular concern. The school's effectiveness varies for different student groups, with male students and students from low-income families showing the greatest struggles.
