Harte Elementary

Harte Elementary sits in the northern end of Long Beach, a part of the city with a tight-knit, working-class character that's a world away from the more polished beachside neighborhoods to the south. The school lands around the middle of the pack statewide, making it a solid neighborhood option for families rooted in the community who value consistency and familiarity over chasing top rankings. Families who prioritize being part of an established local school culture — and who appreciate the diversity and grit that defines this corner of Long Beach — will feel right at home here.
