In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's ELA proficiency rates ranged from 50% to 57.1%, compared to the district's 47.3% to 55.7% and the state's 40.3% to 46.7%.

Compared to nearby schools like Mt View Elementary, Lincoln Elementary, and Letitia Carson Elementary, Kathryn Jones Harrison generally performs better in both ELA and Mathematics.

The school's per-student spending has increased from $20,833 in 2021-2022 to $23,328 in 2022-2023, and its student-teacher ratio has fluctuated between 14.2 and 15.7 in recent years. While Kathryn Jones Harrison Elementary's academic performance is strong, the district should address the rising chronic absenteeism to ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed.
