Summary:

Schools in ZIP code 57032 include four Harrisburg schools—two elementary schools, a middle school and a high school—serving students from elementary through high school. In 2025–2026, results differed substantially among the elementary and middle schools: two were at or above state results in both English language arts (ELA) and math, while one was below in both. The clearest overall takeaway is that school-to-school differences are important context for families in this area.

Harrisburg South Middle School - 03 stood out in ELA, with 61% proficient, 12 percentage points above the state and the highest result among the three comparable schools. Liberty Elementary - 02 led in math at 54%, 11 points above the state. By contrast, Freedom Elementary - 06 had the lowest results in both subjects: 36% in ELA and 31% in math, 13 and 12 points below the state. Liberty exceeded Freedom by 14 points in ELA and 23 in math. SchoolDigger ranked South 25th of 151 schools (83rd percentile, four stars), Liberty 101st of 203 (50th percentile, three stars), Freedom 177th of 203 (13th percentile, one star), and Harrisburg High School - 01 76th of 130 (42nd percentile, two stars). The high school’s 11th-grade ACT results were mixed: ELA was 4 points above the state, math 3 points below, and science about level; its graduation rate was 94%, versus 88% statewide.

Recent changes were mixed rather than a consistent upward trend. From 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, Liberty’s math rose 5 points, while Freedom’s fell 6; South’s ELA fell 2 points, while its math rose 1. SchoolDigger’s percentile history also shows different paths: South went from 71 to 83, Liberty from 25 to 50, Freedom from 23 to 13, and the high school from 75 to 42 between 2023–2024 and 2025–2026. Context measures do not explain these differences on their own: in school year 2024–2025, free/reduced lunch eligible shares were 16% at Liberty, 20% at South and 23% at Freedom, while student-teacher ratios were 14.3, 12.0 and 13.6, respectively.
