Summary

Harmon Elementary School in Saint Clair Shores, MI, is a PK-5 school within the Lakeview Public Schools (Macomb) district, serving 317 students in a community where a majority of families qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Harmon is the lowest-performing elementary school in its district, with a state ranking in the 42nd percentile for 2025-2026. This places it behind its district peers like Ardmore Elementary School (70th percentile), Princeton Elementary School (67th), and Greenwood Elementary School (62nd). For example, in 4th-grade ELA, Harmon's proficiency rate was 25.9%, compared to 63% at Ardmore. However, Harmon outperforms several very low-performing schools in neighboring districts, such as Forest Park Elementary School and Ruth H Green Elementary School, where proficiency rates often fall in the single digits or low teens. The school also spends more per student ($15,649) than its higher-performing district peers, reflecting additional resources allocated to address its higher-need population.

Despite these challenges, Harmon shows a clear story of improvement. After ranking in the 30th percentile in 2023-2024, the school has improved for two consecutive years. Notably, its performance with low-income students jumped from the 29th to the 61st percentile over the same period. Chronic absenteeism has also dropped from a peak of 35.2% to 20.6%, which is actually better than the state average. While math proficiency remains a consistent area of concern across all grade levels, 5th-grade students excelled in ELA with a 50% proficiency rate, surpassing the state average. The school's recent upward trajectory and targeted successes provide a strong foundation for continued growth.
