Summary

Kathryn Jones Harrison Elementary School is a K–5 school serving 225 students in Corvallis, Oregon, part of Corvallis School District 509J, a district ranked 11th of 141 statewide.

Harrison's biggest strength is consistency: it scores above both its district and the state in English language arts (53.4%), math (48.9%) and science (51.1%). Science is the standout — 2nd of the eight Corvallis elementary schools, behind only Franklin School. Harrison also has the smallest classes of any school in its comparison group (12.1 students per teacher in 2024‑25) and the highest per-pupil spending in its district ($22,854). Chronic absenteeism has fallen sharply, from 35.6% in 2022‑23 to 19.7% in 2024‑25 — about 10.5 points below the district and 13.8 points below the state, and better than Mt View Elementary School, Bessie Coleman Elementary School, Adams Elementary School, Lincoln Elementary School and Philomath Elementary School.

Neighborhood alone doesn't predict results here: Garfield Elementary School (0.78 mi) ranks in the 43rd percentile, Bessie Coleman (0.79 mi) in the 88th, and Franklin (0.85 mi) in the 96th with 5 stars. Franklin out-scores Harrison by 20–26 points in ELA and math even though it runs larger classes (20.2:1) and spends less per student ($20,158). Things to watch: the overall rank eased from 81st to 78th percentile in 2025‑26; special education students fell to the 31st percentile (2 stars) in 2024‑25; 5th grade math (42.6%) is the weakest grade-level result, and 3rd grade math (54.5%) falls below the district. Meanwhile the low-income share rose from 35.5% to 56.9% in two years, and those students still perform at essentially the same level as the school overall.
