Harold Steele Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK–06 in TUCSON. It is one of 90 current school records connected to Tucson Unified District (4403). NCES reports 245 students for 2024–25.
Among 1,191 elementary schools in Arizona with comparable records, this school is smaller than the reported median of 453 students. Its enrollment is at approximately the 20th percentile for that peer group. Size describes the campus, not instructional quality.

The two largest reported race and ethnicity groups are Hispanic or Latino (52.2%) and White (27.3%). English learners represent 4.9% of enrollment. Students served under IDEA represent 17.9%. These figures help families understand who the school serves; they are not rating inputs.
