Fillmore Central Elementary is a public elementary school located in Geneva, Nebraska, serving grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 271 students. The school is part of the Fillmore Central Public Schools district, which is ranked 26 out of 212 districts in Nebraska and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Fillmore Central Elementary consistently performs above the state average in NSCAS/English Language Arts and NSCAS/Mathematics assessments for 3rd and 4th grades. In 2022-2023, the school had 70% of 3rd graders and 60% of 4th graders proficient or better in NSCAS/English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 63% and 55%, respectively. In the same year, the school had 73% of 3rd graders and 86% of 4th graders proficient or better in NSCAS/Mathematics, compared to the state average of 58% for both grades. This consistent academic performance suggests a well-established curriculum and effective teaching practices.

However, Fillmore Central Elementary has a predominantly white student population, with 95.2% of students identifying as white in the 2022-2023 school year. This is in contrast to the more diverse student bodies of nearby schools like Meridian Elementary School and Bruning-Davenport Elementary/Davenpt. Additionally, the school has a lower percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 27.31% in the 2022-2023 school year, compared to the state average and some nearby schools. This socioeconomic advantage may contribute to the school's strong academic performance, but it also suggests a lack of diversity that could impact the educational experience for 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.
