Washington Elementary School

Summary:

Washington Elementary School is a public elementary school located in North Platte, Nebraska, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 240. The school is part of the North Platte Public Schools district, which is ranked 159 out of 212 districts in Nebraska and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Washington Elementary has a more diverse student population compared to the district and state averages, with a higher percentage of Hispanic students. However, the school's White students have consistently underperformed compared to their peers in Nebraska, ranking in the bottom half of the state. The school's ranking has also declined over the years, from a high of 117 out of 452 Nebraska elementary schools in 2018-2019 to a low of 276 out of 459 in 2022-2023. This suggests that the school may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address the needs of its diverse student population and improve overall academic performance.

On a positive note, Washington Elementary's 3rd-grade students have consistently outperformed the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, indicating that the school may have effective teaching and learning strategies in place for its younger students. Additionally, the school's 5th-grade students have significantly outperformed the district and state averages in Science, with 83% proficient or better in 2022-2023, suggesting a strong focus on science education.

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.
