Summary

Harte Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 749 students in the Long Beach Unified School District, performing below the state average but showing recent signs of improvement.

The school faces challenges common to the area, including a high rate of chronic student absences and large class sizes, but it has made notable progress in raising test scores over the last few years. This improvement coincides with a significant increase in school funding. Harte is particularly effective in supporting English Language Learners and African American students, and its 5th graders excel in English Language Arts. However, the school struggles with science instruction and needs to improve services for students in special education.

Compared to nearby schools, Harte's performance is in the middle of the pack for the area. It outperforms schools like Grant Elementary, Barton Elementary, and Addams Elementary, but trails higher-performing schools such as Madison Elementary and Holmes Elementary. This comparison shows that while many schools in the community face similar obstacles, some are finding more effective ways to help students succeed.
