The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, from 161 out of 212 elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 347 out of 401 in 2024-2025. Despite the low performance, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8.9, and its spending per student is higher than the state average at $14,182.
The data suggests that Harrison School is facing significant challenges in providing a quality education to its students. The high rate of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, at 41.67%, indicates that the school serves a predominantly low-income population, which may contribute to the academic challenges. Further investigation into the root causes of the school's performance issues and strategies for improvement would be valuable to support the students and community in this area.
