Summary

Harris School is an elementary school located in Collingdale, PA, serving grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 688 students. It is part of the Southeast Delco School District, which is ranked 482 out of 606 school districts in Pennsylvania and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Harris School consistently underperforms compared to the state and district averages on PSSA tests in both Math and English Language Arts across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 15.9% of Harris School students were proficient or better in PSSA Math, compared to 18.1% for the district and 41.7% for the state. The school also has relatively high dropout rates, ranging from 0.5% to 3.0% in recent years. However, Harris School's performance for African American students ranks in the top quartile of Pennsylvania elementary schools, suggesting the school may be doing a better job serving this population compared to its overall performance.

The high percentage of students (100%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Harris School, coupled with the relatively low spending per student, may be contributing factors to the academic underperformance. When comparing Harris School to other nearby schools in the same district, such as Sharon Hill School, Southeast Delco Kindergarten Center, and Darby Township School, the academic performance is generally similar, with all schools underperforming the state averages. This suggests that the challenges faced by Harris School may be systemic within the Southeast Delco School District.
