Harborview Elementary

Summary:

Harborview Elementary is a public elementary school in Juneau, Alaska, serving students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. With a diverse student population, the school faces challenges in academic performance, ranking, and equity for its Native American and multi-racial students.

Academically, Harborview Elementary's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (29.85%) and Mathematics (30.37%) are lower than the Juneau Borough School District (33.35% and 29.05%) and the state of Alaska (31.5% and 31.11%). The school's performance is particularly low for Native American students, who rank 15th out of 20 Alaska elementary schools. Harborview's statewide ranking has fluctuated, ranging from 90th out of 176 in 2022-2023 to 139th out of 173 in 2020-2021, with a SchoolDigger rating that has varied from 1 to 3 stars.

Compared to nearby schools in the Juneau Borough School District, such as Auke Bay Elementary and Sayeik: Gastineau Community School, Harborview Elementary generally underperforms. This suggests the need for a closer examination of the factors contributing to these disparities and the implementation of targeted interventions to improve student outcomes at Harborview Elementary.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
