Ashland-Greenwood Middle School

Summary:

Ashland-Greenwood Middle School is a public middle school serving 238 students in grades 6-8 in the small town of Ashland, Nebraska. This high-performing school consistently outperforms the state average in proficiency rates for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, and has a student population that is significantly less diverse than nearby schools.

Ashland-Greenwood Middle School stands out for its strong academic performance, consistently ranking in the top half of Nebraska middle schools and earning 4-5 stars from SchoolDigger over the past several years. The school's 8th grade proficiency rates in 2022-2023 were 63% in ELA, 64% in Math, and 76% in Science, compared to the state averages of 62%, 61%, and 64% respectively. This academic excellence is supported by a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.5, as well as the district's ability to allocate a high amount of funding per student, ranging from $11,525 to $13,134 over the past four school years. In comparison, nearby schools like Elkhorn Ridge Middle School, Platteview Central Junior High School, and Waverly Middle School also perform well, but Ashland-Greenwood Middle School maintains a competitive edge.

One notable difference between Ashland-Greenwood Middle School and its neighbors is the school's student population, which has a significantly higher percentage of white students (87.82% in 2022-2023) compared to the state average. This is in contrast to the more diverse student populations at nearby schools. Additionally, Ashland-Greenwood Middle School has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 24.9% to 31.16% over the past three school years, which is lower than the rates at some of the surrounding schools. These demographic differences suggest that Ashland-Greenwood Middle School serves a more homogeneous, well-resourced community compared to its peers in the Waverly School District 145, Elkhorn Public Schools, and Springfield Platteview Community Schools.

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.
