Better than 12% of California elementary schools

Summary

Harrison Elementary is a K-8 public school serving 328 students in the Pomona Unified School District, which faces significant challenges compared to neighboring districts.

Academically, the school is struggling, with proficiency rates in English, math, and science well below state averages; its science scores, at just 3.28% proficient, are particularly low. While chronic absenteeism has improved from pandemic highs, it remains above average at 24.7%. Interestingly, Barfield Elementary, a nearby school in the same district with a nearly identical student population, achieves better academic results, and La Verne Science and Technology Charter outperforms it while spending less than half the funding per student.

Harrison Elementary receives substantial funding at over $23,000 per student, which is higher than most schools in the higher-performing Claremont Unified district, such as Sycamore Elementary. This highlights a complex relationship between resources and outcomes, suggesting that how funds are used is critical. The school's performance has declined over the past decade, and it shows a significant gender gap in achievement, with female students ranking much lower than males, indicating areas that need targeted support and investigation.
