Summary

Harvest School is an elementary school located in Harvest, Alabama, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 646 students. It is part of the Madison County school district, which is ranked 28th out of 135 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, Harvest School's own statewide ranking has fluctuated over the past 10 years, ranging from 133rd to 528th out of Alabama's elementary schools, with a current ranking of 449th and a 2-star rating.

Harvest School's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on state assessments, lags behind both the Madison County and Alabama state averages across multiple grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, Harvest School's 3rd-grade math proficiency rate was 34.55%, compared to 52.85% for Madison County and 45.47% for the state. Additionally, Harvest School has consistently higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to the state average, ranging from 12.6% to 17.9% over the past few years, indicating a potential issue with student attendance.

Harvest School's performance varies across different student subgroups, with the school performing relatively well for African American and Hispanic students but struggling with lower rankings for White students and students with special needs. This suggests that the school may need to implement targeted interventions and support to address the specific needs of underperforming groups. By analyzing the school's strengths and weaknesses and implementing evidence-based strategies to address the identified challenges, Harvest School could potentially improve its academic outcomes and statewide ranking.

Tuesday, November 13, 2012

The staff at Harvest Elementary are wonderful. The principal is always ready to hear your concerns and she addresses them on the spot. The school is very parent friendly and always has some sort of family activity going on. We have been very pleased with our experience with HES. My daughter is testing way above grade level due in part to the wonderful teachers. Close Quote
