Elementary Schools in Boone Central Schools

The Boone Central Schools district in Nebraska has one elementary school, Boone Central Elementary-Albion, which serves grades PK-4 and has 284 students. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, dropping from 69th out of 457 Nebraska elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 222nd out of 428 in 2023-2024, with its star rating also decreasing from 4 stars to 2 stars.

Academically, Boone Central Elementary-Albion's test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics for 3rd and 4th grades are generally above the state average, with some exceptions. In 2023-2024, the school's 3rd grade ELA and 4th grade Math scores were above the state average, while 3rd grade Math and 4th grade ELA were below. The school also has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.1%, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Despite spending $17,731 per student, which is higher than the state average, the school's performance does not seem to be commensurate with the level of investment. The school's low student-teacher ratio of 15.6 suggests smaller class sizes, which can be beneficial for student learning, but other factors, such as teacher quality and instructional practices, should also be considered. Overall, the analysis of Boone Central Elementary-Albion reveals a complex picture, with both strengths and areas for improvement, and continued monitoring and targeted interventions may be necessary to address the school's declining performance.
