Middle Schools in Harrah

Harrah has one listed middle school, Harrah Middle School, serving grades 6–8 and enrolling 479 students. In 2025–2026, 18% of students were chronically absent, compared with 13% in the Harrah district and 16% statewide. The clearest academic takeaway is that results are uneven: science was a strength, while math was the largest all-grades weakness.

There is no second local school to compare at the top or bottom, so the school’s standout results are relative to the district and state. In 2025–2026, Harrah Middle School had 43% proficiency in science, 13 points above the state’s 30% and 7 points above the district’s 36%. Math was 17%, 8 points below the state and 9 below the district; English Language Arts I was 22%, 4 points below the state and 3 below the district. Eighth-grade results were stronger than the all-grades figures suggest: English Language Arts I was 5 points above the state, math was 1 point above, and science was 7 points above. Sixth- and seventh-grade math, by contrast, was 8 and 9 points below state results.

Recent changes differ sharply by subject: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, science proficiency at Harrah Middle School rose from 35% to 43%, while English Language Arts I fell from 24% to 22% and math from 20% to 17%. SchoolDigger ranked it 120th of 189 schools (37th percentile, 2 stars) in 2023–2024, 162nd of 369 (56th percentile, 3 stars) in 2024–2025, and 180th of 378 (52nd percentile, 3 stars) in 2025–2026. The school’s student–teacher ratio was 17.9:1, and 53% were free/reduced lunch eligible, both in 2024–2025. With only one listed middle school, these figures cannot show how it compares with other local schools.
