Harrison Elementary stands out for its strong recent academic performance. In 2025–2026, 81.6% of students were proficient in Math, well above the district's 59.2% and the state's 43.1%. In English Language Arts, 87.5% were proficient, compared to 69.8% for the district and 54.0% for the state. Even in the prior year, the school beat the state by 20.1 points in Math and 16.4 points in ELA. Its 4th grade Math proficiency of 68.8% exactly matches the district average and sits comfortably above the state's 48.0%. One notable weakness is Science, where 45.5% proficiency (2024–2025) trails the district's 52.5%, though it remains slightly ahead of the state's 42.6%.
Beyond test scores, the school demonstrates strong student engagement with a chronic absenteeism rate of 12.1% (2024–2025), lower than the district's 19.7%. It maintains a student-teacher ratio of 15.1, with 41.18% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Per-student spending of $19,352 (2018–2019) is notably high, likely due to fixed rural operating costs spread across a small student body. Historically, the school ranked 43rd out of 359 Idaho elementary schools in 2010–2011 but had fallen to 184th by 2012–2013; current rank data are not available, though recent test scores suggest the school has rebounded considerably.
