Geil Elementary School

Summary:

Geil Elementary School is a public elementary school in Gering, Nebraska, serving 246 students in grades PK-5. The school stands out for its strong academic performance, with students consistently outperforming the Gering Public Schools district and the state of Nebraska in assessments.

Geil Elementary School's academic excellence is particularly evident in its performance for specific student subgroups. The school ranks 5th out of 108 Nebraska elementary schools for Hispanic students and 12th out of 312 for low socioeconomic status (SES) students, both earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. Additionally, the school has shown steady improvement over the years, moving from the bottom quarter of Nebraska elementary schools in 2015-2016 to the top quarter in 2022-2023, with a 4-star rating.

Despite serving a diverse student population with a significant percentage of low-SES students, Geil Elementary School spends more per student ($13,116 in 2022-2023) compared to the nearby Northfield Elementary ($15,034) and Lincoln Elementary schools. This suggests that the Gering Public Schools district is allocating additional resources to support the needs of Geil's student population, which may contribute to the school's strong academic performance and its focus on equity.

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.
