Summary
Harvey Elementary is a PK–5 school in Kenosha, Wisconsin, serving 322 students as part of the Kenosha School District. The district ranks low statewide — 340th of 432 districts, the 21st percentile — while Harvey Elementary itself sits somewhat higher, at 654th of 1,039 Wisconsin elementary schools in 2025–2026, the 37th percentile with a 2-star rating. Among nearby schools in the same district, only Roosevelt Elementary (63rd percentile) and Lakeview K-8 Academy (57th percentile) rank higher, while Somers Elementary (36th), Forest Park Elementary (28th), and others rank lower.
Harvey's clearest strength is attendance. Its chronic absenteeism rate of 15.4% in 2024–2025 is the lowest among the nearby schools listed — better than Somers (16.3%), Lakeview (18.5%), and Roosevelt (22.3%) — and well below both the district's 27.6% and the state's 17.3%. The school has improved steadily here from 31.0% in 2021–2022. Math is the academic bright spot, especially in 3rd grade, where 77.5% of students were proficient in 2025–2026, compared with 46.9% districtwide and 54.75% statewide, and higher than every nearby school. Fourth-grade math (55% proficient) also beat the district's 46.05%.
Results are less even elsewhere. Fifth-grade proficiency was below district and state in both ELA (38.1%) and math (40.48%), and 4th-grade social studies (50%) and science (45%) trailed state averages. Harvey's history shows a rise and retreat: 1 star in the mid-2010s, 3 stars in 2021–2022 and 2022–2023, then back to 2 stars since. Students from low-income families have ranked near the state middle (47th percentile), while special education students rank lower (27th percentile). With a 54.97% free/reduced-lunch rate, $15,219 in per-student spending, and a favorable 12.9 student–teacher ratio, Harvey is a modest but real bright spot within its district.
