Summary

Harvest Elementary serves 365 students in grades K–5 in Delano, California, within the Delano Union Elementary School District. Its academic results vary by subject and grade: English language arts (ELA) is close to state results, science is lower, and math is a clear strength. In 2025–26, 52% of students were proficient in math, about 13 percentage points above both state and district results—the school’s most notable overall strength.

Math is also stronger than at nearby same-district K–5 schools: Harvest scored about 5 points above the next-highest, Nueva Vista Language Academy. Fifth graders had the highest nearby K–5 results in both ELA (64%) and math (56%). But those strong results do not hold across every grade: fourth-grade ELA proficiency was 33%, below the state’s 46% and the district’s 40%; only two nearby K–5 schools scored lower. Science is another weaker area: 29% were proficient, compared with 36% statewide and 31% in the district. Harvest was also about 2 points below the nearby K–5 peer average in science.

Over time, math improved from 39% proficient in 2022–23 to 52% in 2025–26, widening its lead over the state. ELA rose from 41% to 48%, narrowing its gap with the state, while science changed little overall, from 28% to 29%. SchoolDigger ranks Harvest in the 63rd statewide percentile and gives it 3 stars; only Columbine Elementary ranks higher among the listed nearby schools. The ranking has eased from its 69th-percentile peak in 2023–24. Harvest’s student–teacher ratio was 17.7 in 2024–25, lower than the listed same-district K–5 peers. That year, 81% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, compared with a 87% average among those peers. SchoolDigger’s 2022–23 ranking for English Language Learner Students was at the 94th percentile, notably higher than Harvest’s overall 54th-percentile ranking that year, a strong relative result for this group.
