Summary

Harvest Ridge Elementary is a public elementary school located in Saint Charles, Missouri, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 622 students. It is part of the Francis Howell R-III school district, which is ranked 22 out of 367 districts in Missouri and is rated 5 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Harvest Ridge Elementary has consistently ranked in the top 25% of Missouri elementary schools over the past several years, with strong performance on state assessments, particularly in mathematics and English Language Arts. The school stands out in its performance with certain student subgroups, such as Asian students and English Language Learners, where it ranks among the top schools in the state. However, the school's academic performance is generally lower than its nearby counterparts within the Francis Howell R-III district, such as Becky-David Elementary and Henderson Elementary, which have higher percentages of students proficient or better in core subjects.

One area of concern for Harvest Ridge Elementary is its relatively high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 15.9% to 18.1% over the past few years, which is higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, the school has seen an increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 18.61% in 2021-2022 to 25.56% in 2023-2024, indicating a growing population of economically disadvantaged students. This demographic shift may require the school to allocate additional resources and implement specialized programs to support the academic and social-emotional needs of these students.
