West Point Elementary School

Summary:

West Point Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 294 students in grades PK-4 in West Point, Nebraska, which is part of the West Point Public Schools district. This high-performing school consistently outperforms the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency, with 88% proficiency in 3rd grade ELA and 95% proficiency in 3rd grade Math, compared to the state averages of 63% and 58% respectively.

Despite having a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (57.14% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch), Pender Elementary, Wisner-Pilger Elementary, and Logan View Elementary - schools with similar demographic profiles - do not perform as well as West Point Elementary. In fact, West Point Elementary ranks in the top 5% in the state for the performance of this student subgroup. The school's diverse student population, with 35.37% Hispanic students, also sets it apart from nearby schools.

West Point Elementary's exceptional performance, particularly for its male students, Hispanic students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, is likely due to the school's high spending per student ($20,512 in 2022-2023, significantly higher than the state average) and its commitment to addressing the unique needs of its diverse student population. The school's steady improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from the bottom 5% in 2014-2015 to the top 7% in 2022-2023, is a testament to the school's dedication to providing a high-quality education for all its students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
