Summary:
The Harrisburg School District 7J in Oregon consists of three schools: Harrisburg Elementary School, Harrisburg Middle School, and Harrisburg High School. The district serves a diverse student population, with high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
Harrisburg Elementary School appears to be the strongest performing school in the district, with a top 40% statewide ranking and relatively strong test scores in English Language Arts and Math. In contrast, Harrisburg Middle School and Harrisburg High School are struggling academically, with very low statewide rankings and test scores significantly below state averages.
A key concern across all three schools is the consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, which range from 34.3% to 34.3% and are well above the state average. This issue likely contributes to the low test scores and graduation rates observed in the district. Additionally, the high free/reduced lunch rates, especially at the elementary and middle school levels, indicate a need for additional academic and social-emotional support services to meet the needs of the district's economically disadvantaged students.
