Summary

Harrisburg Elementary School is a K–4 public school serving 338 students in the small town of Harrisburg, Oregon, as part of Harrisburg School District 7J. In 2025–2026 it ranked 405th of 709 Oregon elementary schools (43rd percentile, 2 stars), down from 269th of 706 (62nd percentile, 3 stars) the year before. That one-year slide interrupts a multi-year climb: back in 2018–2019 the school sat at the 23rd percentile, so this year's result is still well above its historical lows.

In 2025–2026, 41.9% of students met proficiency in English Language Arts and 32.3% in math — just below state averages (43.8% ELA, 32.9% math) but roughly 10 points above district averages (31.6% ELA, 22.0% math). Compared with 10 nearby elementary schools, Harrisburg lands mid-pack: it outperforms Central Linn Elementary School, Awbrey Park Elementary School, Irving Elementary School, Howard Elementary School, and Monroe Grade School, while trailing Coburg Community Charter School, Gilham Elementary School, Laurel Elementary School, Spring Creek Elementary School, and Territorial Elementary School. The clearest academic weak spot is 4th grade math, where proficiency is 27.9% versus 38.9% statewide and well below Laurel (40.0%), Gilham (45.8%), and Spring Creek (48.8%). Third grade math also lags the state (36.5% vs 41.3%).

Chronic absenteeism was 31.2% in 2024–2025 — better than the district (36.4%) and state (33.5%), but higher than 8 of the 10 nearby schools. The school reached 23.8% in 2023–2024, so further improvement looks possible. About 74% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, and per-student spending was $17,898 — less than several nearby schools with weaker results, such as Howard ($27,396) and Awbrey Park ($23,165). One caution: several student groups fell sharply in 2025–2026 statewide percentile rankings, including low-income students (69th to 25th percentile), male students (77th to 40th), and special education students (68th to 35th).
