Summary:
The Wahoo Public Schools district in Nebraska is home to two elementary schools: Wahoo Elementary School and Wahoo Pre-School. While Wahoo Elementary School stands out as a strong-performing school, the data reveals some notable differences between the two institutions.
Wahoo Elementary School consistently outperforms the state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades, and its 5th-grade Science proficiency is relatively strong. The school has also shown steady improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from 252nd out of 442 Nebraska elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 161st out of 459 in 2022-2023. In contrast, Wahoo Pre-School, which serves only pre-kindergarten students, lacks sufficient data for comparison but has a significantly higher rate of free and reduced lunch recipients, indicating a higher proportion of students from lower-income families.
The data also reveals some interesting differences in the student populations of the two schools. Wahoo Elementary School has a predominantly white student body, with small but notable representations of other racial groups, while Wahoo Pre-School has a more diverse student population. This suggests that the district may need to consider the unique needs and resources required to support the more socioeconomically diverse student population at the pre-school level to ensure equitable access to high-quality education across the district.
