Summary

Harney Elementary School is a K–5 school at 1500 N Garfield St. in Lebanon, Indiana, serving 448 students as part of Lebanon Community School Corp. For 2025–2026 it ranked 420th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools — the 59th percentile with 3 stars — a big step up from 2022–2023, when it placed 755th of 1,016 with 1 star. In 2024–2025, 55.13% of students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, and per-student spending was $9,915 in 2023–2024.

Among its own district peers, Harney sits in the middle. Central Elementary School (70th percentile) and Perry Worth Elementary School (65th) rank higher, while Hattie B Stokes Elementary School (28th) ranks well below. Harney's scores beat the district average in every core subject: ELA 42.37% vs. 36.92%, Math 48.73% vs. 41.29%, Science 46.34% vs. 41.45%, and Social Studies 48.53% vs. 46.85%. Chronic absenteeism is a strength at 9.3%, well below the district's 14.5% and the state's 16.7%. Harney also serves more low-income students (55.13%) than Central (29.79%) or Perry Worth (42.93%), and spends less per student than Central and Stokes — yet outperforms Stokes in every core subject.

There is still room to grow. Third-grade Math (48.84%) trails the district and state, and fourth-grade ELA (40.24%) is slightly below the state average. Nearby Zionsville Community Schools and Western Boone County Com School District schools post higher proficiency in ELA, Math, and Science and lower absenteeism, though they generally serve fewer low-income students. Thorntown Elementary School (ELA 66.53%) and Granville Wells Elementary School (ELA 57.42%) also score above Harney's 42.37%. The encouraging story here is the trend: rising poverty and modest funding have not stopped steady gains in rankings, test scores, and attendance.
