Summary:
Harrison School District 36 in Illinois has only one elementary school, Harrison Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. The school's academic performance has been inconsistent, with some grade levels and subject areas exceeding the state average while others fall significantly behind.
Harrison Elementary School's overall proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics are below the state average, with 30.2% of students proficient or better in ELA and 19% in Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 41.2% and 28.4%, respectively. The school's performance varies across grade levels, with 8th-grade ELA proficiency (55.6%) exceeding the state average (49.9%), but lower performance in other grades, particularly in 7th-grade ELA (7.7% vs. 42.5% state average). Science proficiency, as measured by the Illinois Science Assessment (ISA), is also below the state average, with 48.2% of students proficient or better compared to the state average of 53.2%.
Despite the Harrison School District 36 having a higher per-student spending of $14,787 and a lower student-teacher ratio of 12.5, the school's academic performance remains below the state average. This suggests that simply allocating more resources may not be the sole solution to improving student outcomes, and the school may benefit from implementing targeted interventions and strategies to address the specific academic needs of its student population, particularly in the lower-performing grade levels and subject areas.
