Summary

Harritt Elementary School is a public elementary school in Salem, Oregon, serving 518 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Salem-Keizer School District 24J, which is ranked 110 out of 140 districts in Oregon and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Harritt Elementary has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Oregon elementary schools, with a current ranking of 572 out of 706 schools and a 1-star rating.

Harritt Elementary School faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 34.3% to 47.9% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average and nearby schools like Englewood Elementary, Bush Elementary, and Kalapuya Elementary. The school's test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are also consistently lower than the state and district averages, with 3rd-grade proficiency rates of 22.5% in ELA and 21.3% in Math, compared to the state averages of 40.3% and 40.1%, respectively.

When comparing Harritt Elementary to nearby schools in the same district, it becomes evident that the school is underperforming. Schools like Kalapuya Elementary, Brush College Elementary, and Myers Elementary consistently outperform Harritt on key metrics such as test scores and chronic absenteeism. Addressing the challenges at Harritt Elementary will require a comprehensive approach that considers the school's unique context and the broader district-level factors that may be contributing to its struggles.
