Elementary Schools in Overton Public Schools

Overton Public Schools has a single elementary school, Overton Elementary School, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. Located in Overton, Nebraska, the school serves a diverse student population with a higher proportion of students from low-income families compared to the state average.

While Overton Elementary School has shown some strengths, such as its 4th-grade students performing better than the state average in mathematics, the school's overall academic performance has been declining in recent years. The school's statewide ranking has dropped from 151st out of 442 Nebraska elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 246th out of 459 in 2022-2023, and its SchoolDigger rating has decreased from 3 stars to 2 stars over the same period. This suggests that the school may be facing challenges in maintaining its academic standards compared to other elementary schools in the state.

Despite the high per-student spending and low student-to-teacher ratio at Overton Elementary School, the school's academic performance has not consistently met the state averages, particularly in English Language Arts. The school's socioeconomic factors, such as the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, may be contributing to these challenges and should be considered when evaluating the school's results. Overton Public Schools will need to closely examine the factors behind the school's declining performance and develop strategies to address these issues and improve the educational outcomes for its students.
