Summary:
The city of Valparaiso, Nebraska is home to a single elementary school, Elementary School At Valparaiso, which serves grades PK-5 and is part of the Raymond Central Public Schools district. This standout school consistently ranks in the top 25% of Nebraska elementary schools, with a current ranking of 72 out of 459 schools.
Elementary School At Valparaiso's performance on NSCAS/English Language Arts and NSCAS/Mathematics assessments is significantly above the district and state averages across multiple grade levels. The school has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (20%), suggesting a relatively affluent student population. Additionally, the school has a very low student-teacher ratio of 13:1, which is the lowest among the 3 elementary schools in the Raymond Central Public Schools district.
While the school's academic excellence and resource allocation are notable strengths, the school's relatively homogeneous student population, with over 92% of students identifying as white, may indicate a lack of diversity. Furthermore, the school's ranking and star rating from SchoolDigger have fluctuated over the past 3 years, with a dip in the 2020-2021 school year, suggesting the need for further investigation into the factors contributing to these changes and the school's ability to maintain its high performance consistently.
