Summary

Harrison Hill Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Indianapolis, Indiana, serving grades 1-6 with a total enrollment of 714 students. The school is part of the MSD Lawrence Township school district, which is ranked 281 out of 380 districts in Indiana and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Harrison Hill Elementary faces significant challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.8% to 29.9% over the past few years, which is much higher than the state average. Academically, the school consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Indiana elementary schools, with proficiency rates in ILEARN assessments for English Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies that are significantly lower than the state and district averages, often by 10-20 percentage points or more. For example, in 2024-2025, only 16.43% of Harrison Hill students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 26.64% in the district and 40.3% statewide. Additionally, the school has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 79.83% to 90.62% over the past few years, indicating a high concentration of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

Interestingly, the nearby Skiles Test Elementary School and Crestview Elementary School, which are also part of the MSD Lawrence Township district, consistently outperform Harrison Hill Elementary in academic metrics, with higher proficiency rates and better overall rankings. This suggests that factors beyond just district-level policies and resources may be contributing to the differences in performance between these schools.
