The mission of Harbor City Elementary School is to create independent, responsible, lifelong learners. All stakeholders will work in partnership to implement an engaged learning environment allowing students to grow socially, emotionally and academically. Administrators, teachers, para-educators and staff will work collaboratively with parents and community to target student needs by providing a rigorous, standards based and differentiated instructional program.
We know that preparing for the future means giving students a variety of learning experiences. In addition to music, chorus and art, our teachers offer a variety of activities such as dance and yoga!
Harbor City Elementary STEAM Academy wants success for all learners. Our staff knows that in order for a student to learn, we must meet the child on his/her level. We use the data from assessments to drive our instruction and intervention to yield amazing results. By the end of the 2018-2019 school year:
- 82% of Kindergarten students were reading at or above benchmark
- 65% of 1stgrade students were at or above reading benchmark
