Harrisburg High School has a four-year graduation rate of 81.8%, which is slightly below the state average. The school also struggles with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.3%.

These figures are significantly lower than the statewide averages of 44.4% and 32.6%, respectively.
Despite the school's low performance, it spends a relatively high amount per student ($21,163) and has a relatively low student-teacher ratio (13.1:1).
