Summary:
The Ralston Public Schools district in Ralston, Nebraska, consists of 4 schools serving students from elementary through high school. The district faces significant challenges, with all 4 schools ranking in the bottom half of their respective school types in the state. However, Seymour Elementary School stands out as a relative bright spot, ranking 194 out of 459 Nebraska elementary schools and outperforming the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency.
The district's high schools, Ralston High School and Ralston Middle School, both rank in the bottom quarter of their respective school types in Nebraska, with low proficiency rates in core subjects and high free/reduced lunch rates. In contrast, Wildewood Elementary School has the second-best student-teacher ratio in the district and outperforms the district and state averages in Mathematics proficiency for grades 5 and 6.
Overall, the Ralston Public Schools district faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. Addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to identify and address the root causes of the district's underperformance, with a focus on replicating the success of Seymour Elementary School across the district.
