Summary:
The Sumner-Eddyville-Miller Schools district in Nebraska has only one elementary school, Elementary School At Sumner, which serves grades pre-kindergarten through 7th with a total enrollment of 115 students. While the school's 3rd-grade English Language Arts proficiency rate matches the district and state averages, its performance in other grade levels and subject areas, such as 5th-grade ELA and 3rd-grade math, falls below the state averages.
The school's ranking has fluctuated in recent years, declining from 241 out of 457 Nebraska elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 340 out of 459 schools in the current 2022-2023 school year, with a 1 out of 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. This suggests that the school's performance may be declining relative to other elementary schools in the state. Additionally, nearly half of the school's students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively economically disadvantaged population, which may present additional challenges in terms of student support and resources.
Despite the school's high spending per student of $25,481, which is significantly higher than the state average, it's unclear if this higher spending is translating into improved academic outcomes for the students. The school's student-teacher ratio of 10.4 to 1 is relatively low, but the data suggests that the school may be struggling to maintain consistent academic achievement across all grade levels and subject areas. Further investigation may be needed to understand the root causes of the school's performance and identify areas for improvement.
