Summary

Harry Street Elementary serves prekindergarten through grade 5 in Wichita and enrolls 310 students, the smallest enrollment among the 10 nearby schools. In 2025–2026, 23% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA), 16% in math, and 16% in science. All three results were below Wichita and Kansas averages. The most important takeaway is that math is a relative bright spot among nearby schools, but not compared with the state.

Math was the school’s strongest subject locally: its 16% proficiency rate was about 1 point above the nearby-school average and third-highest among the 11 schools compared, including Harry Street. ELA and science were each eighth-highest, below nearby averages of 24% and 18%. All three rates were also below district and state levels: by 7 and 23 points in ELA, 5 and 25 points in math, and 5 and 22 points in science. Results varied by grade, too: fourth-grade ELA was a standout at 31%, higher than at every nearby school, while third-grade ELA was the school’s lowest reported grade-level result at 15%.

Scores improved from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026: ELA rose 10 points, math 8, and science 6, although the gaps with Kansas widened slightly in all three subjects. Harry Street’s SchoolDigger statewide percentile rose from 2 to 5, but it remained low, at 625th of 657 schools, with 0 stars. A notable exception is its English language learner subgroup: SchoolDigger ranked the school at the 30th percentile for that group, compared with the 5th percentile overall, up from 15 the previous year. The school also had the lowest nearby student-teacher ratio, 12.1 compared with a nearby average of 14.1; its free/reduced-lunch rate was 95%, versus 90% nearby. These figures offer context, not an explanation for test results.

Open Quote My sons teacher is very nice but violence runs like crazy here. I would pick up my son from school and try to teach him violence is not ok. Then I’m hearing other parents tell their kids to beat other kids up that hit them. I spent the whole school year grounding my son because they couldn’t keep the kids under control there. He never has behavior issues anywhere else. The school is a hostile environment. I highly don’t recommend sending your kid here unless they are the biggest baddest kid on the playground.
