Summary

Harrison Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 645 students in grades K-5 in the Southwest Local School District in Harrison, Ohio. The school is rated 4 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger and has consistently outperformed the state average on Ohio State Tests across all grade levels and subjects.

One of the standout features of Harrison Elementary is its exceptional performance for special education and gifted student populations. The school ranked in the top 15% of Ohio elementary schools for disabled students in 2018-2019 and the top 10% for gifted and talented students in 2017-2018. Additionally, despite having a relatively high percentage of low socioeconomic status students, the school has consistently ranked in the top 25% of Ohio elementary schools for this subgroup, indicating strong academic performance across diverse student populations.

When compared to other nearby elementary schools, such as Oakdale Elementary and John Foster Dulles Elementary in the Oak Hills Local district, Harrison Elementary performs on par or better, particularly in student proficiency on state assessments. However, the school's high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 16.0% to 22.5% over the past few years, present an area for potential improvement.
