Summary:
Dorchester Public School district in Nebraska has only one elementary school, Dorchester Elementary School, which serves students from grades 4 through 6. The school's academic performance is generally on par with or slightly above the state averages in English Language Arts (ELA), but it struggles in mathematics, particularly in 4th grade, where proficiency rates are significantly below the Nebraska state average.
Dorchester Elementary School has a diverse student population, with a predominantly White student body (69.44%) and a significant Hispanic population (28.47%). The school also serves a relatively high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 36.81% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the school's higher-than-average spending per student ($18,775) and a low student-teacher ratio of 11.3, the lower mathematics proficiency rates suggest the school may need to evaluate how its resources are being allocated and utilized to better support student learning in this subject area.
Overall, Dorchester Public School district has one elementary school that is performing reasonably well in ELA but has room for improvement in mathematics. The school's diverse student population and higher economic need may require targeted strategies and resources to ensure all students are succeeding academically.
