Summary

Edward Harris Junior Middle is a public school in Elk Grove Unified serving about 1,200 students in grades 7 and 8, and it has earned a 4-star rating by showing consistent improvement even as more of its students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

The school stands out for its strong performance in English Language Arts and particularly in Science, where it outperforms both the state average and other local schools with similar student populations, such as T. R. Smedberg Middle and Harriet G. Eddy Middle. It also manages student attendance well, with a chronic absenteeism rate matching the state average, which is better than some comparable schools like Will C. Wood Middle. While mathematics is a relative area for growth compared to other subjects, the school achieves these solid results with per-student spending that is reasonable for the district.

When compared to other schools in Elk Grove Unified, Edward Harris is a notable middle performer: it significantly outpaces schools with similar high-poverty demographics like Samuel Jackman Middle and James Rutter Middle, while trailing higher-performing schools in the district with lower poverty rates, such as Elizabeth Pinkerton Middle and Toby Johnson Middle. This pattern highlights the school's effectiveness in supporting its student community while also showing the broader achievement gaps that exist within the district.
