Summary

Harrison Elementary School is a PK–5 elementary school in the Twin Falls School District serving 383 students in Twin Falls, ID, where approximately two-thirds of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. Over the past decade, the school has experienced a steep decline in its statewide ranking, falling from the 57th percentile in 2015–16 to the 4th percentile in 2025–26, when it ranked 331st out of 346 Idaho elementary schools.

Academically, Harrison's proficiency rates remain far below district and state averages. In 2025–26, only 22.9% of students were proficient in math and 31.5% in English Language Arts, compared to state rates of 43.1% and 54%, respectively. ELA proficiency has improved markedly from 16.9% in 2023–24, but math has remained consistently low in the high teens to low 20s. Fifth-grade science proficiency was 25.5%, well below the state's 44%. Notably, Harrison spends more per student ($9,238) than higher-performing nearby schools such as Pillar Falls Elementary ($6,658) and Rock Creek Elementary ($5,958), and it has a more favorable student-teacher ratio (15.9) than those schools — yet outcomes lag far behind.

Chronic absenteeism has improved significantly, dropping from 37.0% in 2021–22 to 16.4% in 2025–26, but it remains above the state rate of 13.8% and well above nearby high performers like Rock Creek (9.1%) and Pillar Falls (10.8%). Harrison may have something to learn from Sawtooth Elementary School, which serves a substantial free/reduced-price lunch population (49.1%) yet posted far stronger results in 2025–26: 45.3% math proficiency, 55.1% ELA proficiency, and an 11.8% chronic absenteeism rate. The combination of high poverty, attendance challenges, and low achievement suggests that spending and class size alone have not closed the gap. Still, recent improvements in attendance and ELA offer cautious reason for hope.
