Summary:
The Nebraska City Public Schools district in Nebraska City, Nebraska, operates two elementary schools: Nebraska City Northside Elementary and Hayward Elementary School. Both schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade and face significant challenges in providing quality education to their students.
The data reveals that neither school is performing exceptionally well, with both schools consistently scoring below the state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency. Additionally, both schools have high chronic absenteeism rates of over 21%, which can negatively impact student learning and academic outcomes. The high free/reduced lunch rates, over 57% at both schools, suggest that the student population comes from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, which may contribute to the low academic performance.
In terms of resource allocation, the schools appear to be spending relatively high amounts per student, with Nebraska City Northside Elementary spending $15,155 per student and Hayward Elementary School spending $14,124 per student. However, this high spending has not translated into improved academic outcomes, indicating potential challenges in effectively allocating resources to support student learning and achievement.
