Summary:
The Harrisburg School District in Arkansas consists of 3 schools: 2 elementary schools (Harrisburg Elementary School and Weiner Elementary) and 1 high school (Harrisburg High School). The district has a mix of academic performance, with Weiner Elementary standing out as a strong performer and the other schools showing room for improvement.
Weiner Elementary is a standout school, consistently ranking in the top 32-234 elementary schools in Arkansas over the past 3 years and earning 3-5 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger. The school has particularly strong math and science scores, with over 50% of students proficient or better in these subjects. In contrast, the other schools in the district generally have test scores in English Language Arts, Reading, Math, and Science that are below the state averages.
Harrisburg High School has shown improvement in recent years, moving from a 2-star to a 4-star rating. The school has above-average English Language Arts and Reading scores compared to the state. However, the district as a whole has moderate to high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 18.18% at Weiner Elementary to 29.36% at Harrisburg Elementary, suggesting potential socioeconomic challenges. The district also spends relatively high amounts per student, around $11,000-$13,400, but the academic outcomes do not yet fully reflect this investment.
