Summary:
The 13648 zip code area is home to two schools, Harrisville Junior-Senior High School and Harrisville Elementary School, both part of the Harrisville Central School District. While the high school is a strong performer, the elementary school faces significant academic challenges.
Harrisville Junior-Senior High School consistently outperforms the state and district averages on state assessments and Regents exams, with many subject areas scoring 20-30 percentage points higher than the state. The school has maintained a 4- or 5-star rating from SchoolDigger in recent years, indicating strong overall academic achievement. In contrast, Harrisville Elementary School has struggled academically, with proficiency rates on state assessments well below the state average in most subject areas, and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
The data suggests that the Harrisville Central School District may need to focus on improving the foundational skills and support at the elementary level to better prepare students for success in the later grades. Both schools have a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, which may contribute to the lower academic performance at the elementary school level. Understanding the factors contributing to these disparities could help the district develop targeted strategies to improve outcomes for all students.
