Summary

Harvest School is a public elementary school in Harvest, Alabama, serving 663 students in grades PK-5 within the Madison County school district, where just over half of the student body qualifies for free or reduced lunch.

Harvest School has experienced a significant decline in academic performance over the past several years. In the 2018-2019 school year, the school earned a 4-star rating and ranked in the 80th percentile statewide. By the 2025-2026 school year, it had fallen to a 1-star rating, ranking in the 23rd percentile—528th out of 686 elementary schools in Alabama. This downward trend is particularly stark when compared to nearby schools. For example, Monrovia Elementary School ranks in the 91st percentile, Legacy Elementary School in the 88th, and Endeavor Elementary School in the 79th. The most dramatic drop occurred between the 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 school years, and the decline has continued since. Mathematics proficiency is a particular area of concern—in 5th grade, only 15.24% of Harvest students were proficient in math, compared to 64.58% at Monrovia and the state average of 39.06%.

Chronic absenteeism is another challenge, with an 18.0% rate for the 2024-2025 school year—higher than the district average of 14.3% and well above high-performing neighbors like Legacy (6.7%) and Monrovia (9.9%). Notably, Harvest's per-student spending ($9,888) is actually higher than several higher-performing peers, suggesting that funding alone isn't the issue. The school's student-teacher ratio of 19.7 is also higher than at Monrovia (17.1) and Legacy (17.4). While the school has shown some positive flashes—such as a brief improvement in rankings for its African American students in 2024-2025—these gains have not been sustained. For parents considering this school, it's important to understand that Harvest is facing systemic challenges that will require targeted interventions, particularly in math instruction and student attendance, to reverse its trajectory.

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
