Summary:
The Paxton Consolidated Schools district in Nebraska has only one elementary school, Paxton Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6 with an enrollment of 110 students. The school has seen a concerning decline in its statewide ranking and rating over the past three years, dropping from 138th out of 442 Nebraska elementary schools to 323rd out of 459.
Academically, Paxton Elementary School's performance is mixed, with 4th-grade ELA proficiency rates higher than the state average but 5th and 6th-grade ELA and 6th-grade math proficiency rates lower than the state. The school has a relatively high percentage of students (50.91%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges. Despite the high spending per student ($22,645) and low student-teacher ratio (13.7), the school's declining performance suggests these resources may not be translating into improved educational outcomes.
Overall, the data highlights the need for Paxton Elementary School to focus on targeted interventions and strategies to address the academic performance issues, particularly in the upper elementary grades, while also considering the potential impact of socioeconomic factors on student learning. Improving the school's statewide ranking and rating should be a priority to ensure the students in the Paxton Consolidated Schools district receive a high-quality education.
