Summary:
O'Neill Public Schools in Nebraska has one elementary school, O'Neill Elementary School, which serves students from grades K-6. The school's performance has been declining in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 283 out of 442 Nebraska elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 221 out of 459 in 2022-2023. Additionally, the school's SchoolDigger rating has decreased from 2 stars out of 5 in 2021-2022 to 3 stars out of 5 in 2022-2023.
Despite these challenges, O'Neill Elementary School has some areas of strength, such as its high 5th grade science proficiency rate of 81%, which exceeds the state average of 76%. However, the school's English Language Arts and mathematics proficiency rates are generally on par with or slightly below the state averages. The school also faces socioeconomic challenges, with a relatively high free/reduced lunch rate of 55.88%, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students.
The O'Neill Public Schools district as a whole is ranked 150 out of 212 districts in Nebraska and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger, suggesting that the challenges faced by O'Neill Elementary School may be reflective of broader systemic issues within the district. Further investigation and targeted interventions may be necessary to address these concerns and improve the overall quality of education at the school and within the district.
