Summary

Harmony Elementary is a 409-student Los Angeles Unified school serving kindergarten through grade 5 in Los Angeles. Its results show a meaningful mix: students score below district and state proficiency rates in English/language arts (ELA), math and science, but above the nearby-school average in all three. The most important takeaway is that Harmony is improving and performs comparatively well among nearby schools, while still trailing district and state benchmarks.

Harmony’s strongest local results are in ELA and science: it ranks second among seven nearby schools in both subjects, compared with fourth in math. Its 2025–2026 results were 34% in ELA, 30% in math and 25% in science, versus nearby-school averages of 27%, 28% and 16%, respectively. However, those scores remain below Los Angeles Unified and state rates: 48% and 49% in ELA, 40% and 38% in math, and 32% and 36% in science. Fifth grade is a relative strength, while fourth-grade ELA is a concern: 25% of Harmony students were proficient, compared with 46% statewide.

Scores rose in every tested subject each year from 2022–2023 through 2025–2026, gaining 20 percentage points in ELA, 18 in math and 24 in science; the state gaps narrowed by 17, 15 and 18 points, respectively. SchoolDigger places Harmony at the 32nd percentile with 2 stars, up from the 2nd percentile in 2021–2022. Its student-teacher ratio was 17:1 in 2024–2025, and 98% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger’s group rankings also indicate stronger standing for special education students (52nd percentile) and Hispanic students (48th) than Harmony’s overall percentile. Chronic absenteeism fell from 47% in 2021–2022 to 21% in 2025–2026, though the latest rate remained above the state’s 18%.
