Summary:
The 65256 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Harrisburg Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 with 291 students. The school is part of the Harrisburg R-VIII district, which is ranked 233 out of 367 districts in Missouri and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Harrisburg Elementary's academic performance, as measured by MAP test proficiency rates, is generally below the state averages, particularly in math. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 14.4% is relatively high and may be contributing to the lower academic outcomes. The school's 2-star rating from SchoolDigger and fluctuating statewide ranking suggest there is room for improvement in the school's overall performance and quality.
Despite the school's investment of $10,220 per student and a low student-teacher ratio of 12.9 to 1, the academic results do not yet reflect the impact of these resources. The school serves a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with a free/reduced lunch rate of 32.3%, which can present additional challenges. Overall, the data suggests that Harrisburg Elementary has some areas for improvement, particularly in academic performance and student attendance, and the school and district should focus on these areas to better support student learning and achievement.
