Summary

Harry L Bain is an elementary school located in West New York, New Jersey, serving 632 students in grades K-6. It is part of the West New York School District, which is ranked 472 out of 609 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Harry L Bain consistently ranks in the bottom half of New Jersey elementary schools, typically in the 800s-1100s range out of around 1,350 schools. The school's performance on NJSLA assessments is generally below the West New York School District and New Jersey state averages across grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 23.3% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 29.2% for the district and 44.9% statewide. Math proficiency rates are also low, with only 23.5% of 6th graders reaching proficiency in 2024-2025, compared to 26.8% for the district and 39.8% statewide. The school has also struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.9% to 20% in recent years, which is significantly above the state average.

Interestingly, the other elementary schools in the West New York School District, such as Public School Number Two and Albio Sires Elementary School, generally perform better than Harry L Bain on academic measures, with higher proficiency rates and better rankings. However, these schools also have high percentages of economically disadvantaged students, ranging from 76.33% to 92.94% in 2023-2024. Nearby schools in the North Bergen School District, such as Robert Fulton Elementary School and Lincoln Elementary School, have somewhat higher academic performance, but still struggle with low proficiency rates compared to the state.
