About North Harrison Elem.

North Harrison Elementary serves 96 students in kindergarten through sixth grade in Eagleville, Missouri. The school ranks #30 out of 2,216 public schools statewide — outperforming 99% of Missouri schools — and sits at #24 among the state's 1,202 elementary schools. For a school of 96 students, those are numbers that command attention.

The composite score of 9.1 out of 10 earns an Exceptional rating. Academic performance registers at 8.8, while the growth score — measuring how much students advance year over year — reaches 9.7. That growth figure carries real weight: it shows students aren't simply arriving at a high baseline, they're accelerating past it.

Strong elementary growth compounds over years of schooling, and North Harrison's 9.7 reflects a staff that moves students forward. Class size is one reason those outcomes hold. With 96 total students and a student-teacher ratio of 8.0 to 1, teachers carry far fewer students than at a typical Missouri public school.

More individual attention at the elementary level — when foundational reading and math skills are forming — translates directly into the kind of growth numbers North Harrison posts.

What Parents Should Know

With an enrollment of 96 students, North Harrison Elem. is a smaller school where families often find a close-knit community atmosphere. Smaller settings can mean more individual attention from teachers and staff, though they may offer fewer extracurricular options than larger schools.

With a student-teacher ratio of 8:1, North Harrison Elem. offers a notably low ratio compared to the national average. This typically means smaller class sizes and more opportunities for one-on-one interaction between students and teachers.

Located in a rural area, North Harrison Elem. may involve longer commutes for some families. Rural schools often serve as community anchors and may have smaller class sizes, but parents should consider transportation logistics, after-school program availability, and access to specialized services.
