Summary

Harris Elementary is a public elementary school in Saint Charles, Missouri, serving 398 students in grades K-4. The school is part of the St. Charles R-VI school district, which is ranked 44 out of 367 districts in the state and has a 4-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Harris Elementary has consistently performed well academically, ranking in the top 25-30% of Missouri elementary schools over the past decade. The school's performance on state assessments (MAP) is generally above the state and district averages, particularly in mathematics. For example, in 2024-2025, 55.8% of 3rd graders and 50.5% of 4th graders at Harris Elementary were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to the state averages of 41.4% and 43.8%, respectively. The school's higher spending per student, ranging from $12,979 to $15,327 over the past few years, may contribute to its strong academic performance.

When compared to nearby schools in the St. Charles R-VI district, such as Monroe Elementary and George M. Null Elementary, Harris Elementary generally outperforms them in terms of academic achievement and state rankings. However, when compared to schools in the Francis Howell R-III district, such as Fairmount Elementary and Becky-David Elementary, Harris Elementary's performance is not as strong, particularly in English Language Arts. Addressing the school's higher chronic absenteeism rate, which is still above the district average, could be an area of focus to improve overall student outcomes.

I have visited this school with my son, and it is a really great school. I would definitely rate it above average. I noticed however that this school didn't have a rating where as greatschools.org is giving it an 8/10 based on MAP test results. Close Quote
