Summary

Harrison Elementary School is a K–5 public school in Cottage Grove, Oregon, serving roughly 450 students as part of South Lane School District 45J3. In 2025–2026 it ranked 477th of 709 Oregon elementary schools — the 33rd percentile with 2 stars — while its district ranks 88th of 141. The school's rank has slid steadily: from the 66th percentile in 2014–2015 and the 61st in 2021–2022, down to the 50th, 44th, 41st, and now 33rd. About 69.33% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025, with per-student spending of $19,583 and a 16.6:1 student-teacher ratio.

In 2025–2026, all-grade proficiency was 33.5% in English language arts, 31.1% in math, and 22.2% in science. All three are above the district averages of 32.9%, 24.7%, and 16.5%, but below Oregon's 43.8%, 32.9%, and 30.6% — so Harrison looks stronger within its district than its statewide rank suggests. Grade-level results vary widely. Fourth-grade math, at 41.4%, tops both district and state averages, and fifth-grade ELA at 45.0% matches the district and sits close to the state. Third grade is the clearest weak spot: 20.0% in ELA and 24.6% in math, roughly 21 and 17 points below state. Compared with neighbors, Harrison's math edges out Bohemia Elementary School, Dorena School, London School, and North Douglas Elementary School and is near Creslane Elementary School, but trails Pleasant Hill Elementary School and the Eugene School District 4J schools.

Attendance is a bright spot: chronic absenteeism fell from 44.9% in 2022–2023 to 28.2% in 2024–2025, better than Oregon's 33.5% and the lowest among its same-district neighbors (Bohemia 32.3%, London 35.7%, Dorena 38.4%). Subgroup results are mixed. Low-income students rank in the 56th percentile with 3 stars, above the school's overall standing, while special education students rank in the 17th percentile with 1 star, down from the 46th percentile a year earlier.
