Summary:
Wakefield Public Schools in Nebraska has only one elementary school, Wakefield Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6 and has a total enrollment of 342 students. The school's student population is predominantly Hispanic (60.23%), with a significant percentage of White students (39.18%) and small percentages of other races.
Academically, Wakefield Elementary School's performance on state assessments is generally below the Nebraska state averages, particularly in mathematics. While the school's 4th and 6th-grade English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rates exceed the state averages, its 3rd and 5th-grade ELA proficiency, as well as its mathematics proficiency across all grades, fall short of the state benchmarks. Additionally, the school's 5th-grade science proficiency rate of 71% is slightly below the state average of 76%.
The school's high free/reduced lunch rate of 60.82% suggests a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population, which may be a factor in the school's academic performance. However, the school's spending per student of $16,683 is relatively high, and its student-teacher ratio of 12.7 to 1 is relatively low, which could be positive factors in supporting student learning. Overall, the data indicates that Wakefield Public Schools and Wakefield Elementary School have room for improvement, particularly in addressing the academic performance gaps in mathematics and ensuring equitable educational opportunities for all students.
