Summary:
The Harrison Hills City school district has only one elementary school, Harrison Central Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school has consistently underperformed compared to other Ohio elementary schools, ranking in the bottom half of the state's 1,558-1,596 elementary schools over the past few years.
Harrison Central Elementary School has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance. The school's proficiency rates on Ohio state tests are generally lower than the state averages, particularly in mathematics, where the 5th-grade proficiency rate was 33% in 2024-2025 compared to the state average of 56.7%. The school's English Language Arts and science proficiency rates also lag behind state averages. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (52.89% in 2023-2024) and a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 29.1% in 2024-2025.
Despite the school's resource allocation, with a per-student spending of $10,597 in 2018-2019 and a student-teacher ratio of 19:1 in 2023-2024, the academic performance of Harrison Central Elementary School remains a concern. The district may need to implement targeted interventions, professional development for teachers, and additional support services for students and families to address the school's challenges and improve student outcomes.
