Summary

Harritt Elementary School is a K–5 public school in Salem, Oregon, serving 498 students in the Salem-Keizer School District 24J. For 2025–2026, it ranks 598th of 709 Oregon schools — 16th percentile, 1 star — after falling from the 45th percentile in 2014–2015. Its OSAS proficiency rates are ELA 28.8%, Math 22.1%, and Science 16.9%, all below district and state averages.

Nearby comparisons show Harritt in the lower tier but not the absolute lowest. It trails Kalapuya Elementary School (75th percentile), Myers Elementary School (69th), Brush College Elementary School (61st), and Chapman Hill Elementary School (60th), while ranking above Bush Elementary School (12th), Highland Elementary School (8th), and Cummings Elementary School (9th). Poverty is similar across most same-district neighbors — Harritt’s free/reduced lunch rate is 88.35% — so poverty alone does not explain the gap. Harritt spends $19,895 per student, less than most same-district neighbors, but its student-teacher ratio of 18.2 is better than several higher performers. Science is a clear weakness; 5th-grade Math is a bright spot at 22.5% versus the district’s 21.2%. Chronic absenteeism is 34.5%, better than the district’s 43.1% but above the state’s 33.5%.

Subgroup results are uneven. English Language Learner students rank in the 57th percentile with 3 stars, but male students rank in the 8th percentile, Special Education students in the 6th percentile, and Low Socio Economic Status students in the 14th percentile. Chronic absenteeism improved from 46.8% in 2021–2022 to 34.5% in 2024–2025, though it remains high. The free/reduced lunch rate also jumped from 66.02% in 2023–2024 to 88.35% in 2024–2025, which may reflect real need or a reporting change. Overall, Harritt is a high-poverty school with low overall proficiency and severe subgroup gaps; improvement will likely depend on targeted instruction and intervention, especially in Science and for its lowest-performing groups.
