Summary:

La Harpe Central School District 347 has one listed school, La Harpe Elementary School, serving PK–8 and enrolling 181 students, so the school’s results are also the district’s results. In 2025–2026, all-grades ELA proficiency was 51%, compared with 56% statewide, and mathematics was 32%, compared with 40% statewide. The most important finding is that the school is below the state in both subjects, with the larger overall shortfall in mathematics: 8 points, versus 5 points in ELA.

The strongest reported state comparison is fourth-grade ELA: 75% proficient at La Harpe Elementary School versus 56% statewide, a 19-point advantage. Third-grade ELA was also notably higher than the state result, at 64% versus 48%, a 16-point advantage; third-grade math was slightly higher, at 50% versus 49%. The weakest overall comparison is mathematics, where the school was 8 points below the state; all-grades ELA was also below, by 5 points. These grade-level strengths contrast with the below-state all-grades results.

Over the two reported years, the school’s ELA result fell from 53% to 51%, while the state’s rose from 53% to 56%; the school moved from near parity with the state in 2024–2025 (52.9% versus 53.1%) to 5 points behind in 2025–2026. Math improved slightly, from 31% to 32%, but remained about 8 points below the state. SchoolDigger’s ranking rose from the 47th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 68th in 2025–2026; its star rating increased from 2 to 3 and stayed there. Other context: 83% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, the student-teacher ratio was 10.4 that year, and chronic absenteeism was 12% in 2025–2026 versus 24% statewide. Because there is only one listed school and several grade-level results are suppressed, the data do not support school-to-school comparisons or a complete grade-by-grade picture.
