Best Public Schools in Platte Center, NE


Summary:

The city of Platte Center, Nebraska has only one public elementary school, Platte Center Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 156 students. The school's student population is predominantly white (58.97%) and Hispanic (38.46%), and it has a relatively high percentage of students (50.64%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, Platte Center Elementary School's performance on NSCAS tests is generally on par with or slightly below the district average of Lakeview Community Schools and the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school's proficiency rates in Mathematics are more consistent, with scores at or above the district and state levels in grades 5 and 6. However, the school's state-wide ranking and SchoolDigger rating have fluctuated over the past three years, suggesting some instability or inconsistency in its performance.

Despite the school's relatively high spending per student ($16,752), which suggests access to more resources and funding, the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch indicates that the school may also serve a population with greater economic challenges. These demographic and funding factors may be important considerations in understanding the school's performance and identifying opportunities for growth and improvement.
