Stanton Elementary School

Summary:

Stanton Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 207 students in grades PK-6 in Stanton, Nebraska, which is part of the Madison Public Schools district. The school consistently outperforms the state average in academic proficiency, ranking in the top 25% of Nebraska elementary schools, and has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.6.

Stanton Elementary School stands out for its strong academic performance, with 81% of 3rd graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 63%, and 88% of 5th graders proficient in Math, compared to 65% statewide. This consistent excellence is reflected in the school's statewide ranking, which has remained in the top 25-40% of Nebraska elementary schools for the past decade.

While Stanton Elementary School's academic performance and resource allocation (spending $17,525 per student) are impressive, the demographic differences between the school and its neighbors raise questions about educational equity in the region. Stanton Elementary School has a significantly higher percentage of White students (85.51%) compared to the more diverse student populations of the surrounding schools, such as Jefferson Elementary School and Lincoln Elementary School. Further investigation may be warranted to understand the factors contributing to these disparities and ensure that all students in the Norfolk Public Schools district have access to high-quality 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.
