Summary

Harrington Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 513 students in the Oxnard area, known for making significant academic progress over the last decade despite serving a community with high economic need.

While the school's test scores are below state averages, it stands out locally, ranking second-highest among 11 nearby elementary schools. Harrington particularly excels in science, where its proficiency rate is the highest among all compared schools, including Lemonwood Elementary and Sunkist Elementary. The school also shows strength in mathematics compared to the Oxnard district average and demonstrates effective support for English Learner students, who perform well above state averages for their group.

Areas for growth include reducing chronic absenteeism, which is higher than at schools like Kamala Elementary, and improving outcomes for students in special education. The school's strong performance in upper grades suggests students are well-prepared for middle school, and its trajectory indicates it is one of the stronger academic options within its immediate local context.
