Summary

Barbara A Harvey Elementary School in Parrish, FL, is a large K-5 school serving 1,356 students in the Manatee district, and it stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly in math and science, while operating with notably efficient spending.

This school consistently earns a 4-star rating and excels in upper elementary grades, with 74% of 5th graders proficient in math and 70% in science—well above district and state averages. A standout feature is its advanced math program, where 82% of 6th graders and an impressive 100% of 7th graders achieve proficiency, far exceeding the district's 47% and state's 53% averages. The school also avoids the common "3rd grade slump," showing steady growth in English Language Arts from 58% proficiency in 3rd grade to 73% in 5th grade. Low chronic absenteeism (20.8% vs. 31.4% statewide) and efficient per-student spending ($9,490) further highlight its effectiveness. Compared to nearby options, Annie Lucy Williams Elementary School (3.54 miles away) shares a similar 4-star rating, while local charter schools like Parrish Charter Academy and Imagine Charter School At North Manatee lag in elementary test scores, making Harvey a top choice in the area.

While the school's state ranking has slightly dipped from the 81st percentile in 2021-2022 to the 67th percentile in 2025-2026, it remains a high-performing institution. This trend may reflect rapid growth in the Parrish area rather than a decline in quality. Overall, Barbara A Harvey Elementary offers a strong, efficient education with exceptional math and science programs, making it a standout in the Manatee district.
