Summary
Harbour View Elementary is a K–5 school in Huntington Beach, California, serving 677 students in the Ocean View district. In 2025–2026, SchoolDigger ranked it in the 73rd percentile statewide, with four stars. Its proficiency rates were above California’s in English language arts (ELA), math, and science, but the most important comparison for local families is that the school scored below nearby-school averages in all three subjects and ranked third-lowest among 11 schools in each.
Math is the school’s strongest subject against the state, while science is its clearest shortfall against the district: Harbour View’s rates were 52% in math, 57% in ELA, and 46% in science, compared with state rates of 38%, 49%, and 36%. Its leads over the state were 14 points in math, 8 in ELA, and 10 in science. Locally, however, results were 7 points below the nearby average in math, 9 below in ELA, and 6 below in science. Science was also 2 points below the district; ELA and math were just 1 and 2 points above it. Fifth grade stands out as a concern: ELA proficiency was 48%, below the district’s 56% and state’s 49%; math was 37%, below the district’s 43% and about level with the state. Only one nearby school scored lower in each fifth-grade subject.
Results have declined since 2022–2023: ELA fell 12 points, math 9, and science 9, narrowing Harbour View’s earlier advantage over the state. The school’s SchoolDigger percentile also fell from 85 to 73, though it retains four stars. Its 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 23.7, near the nearby average of 24, and 41% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year, close to the nearby average of 42%. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for effectiveness in serving Special Education Students was at the 42nd percentile, 31 points below the school’s overall percentile. For White Students, it was at the 46th percentile, 27 points below overall; these are group-level rankings, not conclusions about individual students.
