Summary:
The Harrison Public Schools district in New Jersey comprises 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving a diverse student population with a majority Hispanic enrollment.
Lincoln Elementary School stands out with the lowest chronic absenteeism rate and the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics among the elementary schools. Meanwhile, Harrison High School has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate and a low dropout rate, suggesting the school is effective at keeping students engaged and on track to graduate, despite lower academic performance compared to state averages.
The schools in the district generally underperform the state averages on standardized test scores, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science lagging behind state levels. However, Washington Middle School stands out with relatively stronger performance in 8th grade Algebra I. The district may need to address areas of concern, such as chronic absenteeism, racial disparities, and declining school rankings, while also ensuring equitable distribution of resources to support student learning across all schools.
