Summary:
Schools in ZIP code 41031 include seven schools—four elementary, one middle and two high schools—serving 2,982 students, with academic results that vary considerably across the area. The clearest takeaway is that elementary performance differs sharply by school, with Westside strongest overall and Eastside weakest.
Westside Elementary stands out: its average across reported elementary results was 49%, about 5 points above its matching state average, and it led in 8 of 10 same-grade comparisons. SchoolDigger ranked it 263rd of 684 schools, at the 62nd percentile. At the other end, Eastside Elementary averaged 31%, about 14 points below its state comparison; Northside Elementary averaged 34%, about 11 points below. Westside’s average was 17 points higher than Eastside’s, and SchoolDigger placed Eastside and Northside at the 17th and 24th percentiles. Southside Elementary averaged 41%, about 3 points below its state comparison. Harrison County Middle School was essentially even with the state, at 42%; Harrison County High School averaged 33%, about 6 points below the state, despite a 96% graduation rate versus 94% statewide.
Middle-school results improved notably: the average rose from 32% in 2024–25 to 42% in 2025–26, a 10-point gain, while the matching state average fell from 43% to 42%. Elementary trends were mixed: Westside rose 6 points on matched results, while Northside fell 8. Other measures do not make the academic differences predictable: elementary student–teacher ratios range from 16.1 to 18.4, and all four schools report free/reduced lunch eligible figures for 2024–25, ranging from 53% to 62%. Eastside had the lowest chronic absenteeism, 8%, but the lowest elementary average; all four schools were below the 24% state rate. The Harrison County Learning Center has no usable reported test results, so its academic performance cannot be assessed.
