School review information
Harbour View Elementary is a community-focused school that offers a well-rounded educational experience. With its unique Montessori program option, a dedicated PAC, and a recent upward trend in academic performance, it provides a supportive and enriching environment for students in the Burquitlam area.
Editorial review summary
Publicly available parent reviews are limited, so signals are drawn primarily from school and community resources. The school benefits from a highly active Parent Advisory Committee (PAC) that fosters a strong sense of community ('Home of the Hawks'). The PAC organizes practical initiatives, such as a bulk school supply purchasing program to reduce costs and waste, as well as hot lunch fundraisers. Parents also value the school's Montessori program option and the inclusive, supportive environment created by extracurriculars like the Peace Squad.

- Strong recent academic rebound, achieving a 7.4/10 Fraser Institute rating.
- Highly active Parent Advisory Committee (PAC) that provides practical support for families.
- Good variety of extracurriculars, including Leadership Club, Peace Squad, and sports teams.
Common concerns
- Historical academic ratings show some fluctuation, including a previous dip to 5.4/10.
- Limited public parent reviews make it difficult to gauge everyday classroom satisfaction.
Who this school may fit
Highly recommended for families living in the catchment area, particularly those interested in the Montessori educational approach. Because Montessori programs in public schools are highly sought after, parents should inquire early about registration and waitlist policies.

The rating dataset used here covers 2024-2025. The five-year average belongs to that historical report, not the five years ending today.
Academic ratings do not capture the whole school experience, including belonging, support, or fit for your child. A nearby care provider does not necessarily offer school pickup; confirm with the provider.
