Summary:
Platte Center, Nebraska is home to a single elementary school, Platte Center Elementary School, which serves students from the Lakeview Community Schools district. The school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the past few years, ranging from 167th out of 428 Nebraska elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 242nd out of 459 in 2022-2023. While the school's performance on NSCAS tests has been mixed, with some grades performing above the state average and others below, it has a relatively high rate of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students.
Platte Center Elementary School's spending per student for the 2022-2023 school year was $16,752, which is higher than the state average, and the student-teacher ratio is 13.3, which is lower than the state average, suggesting a relatively small class size. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 21.1% in the 2023-2024 school year is higher than the state average, which may be an area of concern.
While Platte Center Elementary School's performance on some metrics is above the state average, it is often below the average for the Lakeview Community Schools district. This could indicate a need to align the school's practices and strategies with those of the broader district to ensure more consistent and equitable outcomes for students.
