Summary:

Emerson-Hubbard Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in the small town of Emerson, Nebraska, with a student population of just 66 students. While the school has shown some academic strengths in certain grade levels and subject areas, it has struggled overall, ranking in the bottom half of Nebraska middle schools.

One of the key challenges facing Emerson-Hubbard Middle School is its high chronic absenteeism rate, which has ranged from 14.6% to 22% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average. The school also serves a population with a higher socioeconomic need, with 36.36% to 53.33% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Despite a significant increase in spending per student, from $5,969 in 2019-2020 to $21,089 in 2022-2023, the school's academic results have not yet shown a corresponding improvement.

Interestingly, the school has shown some strengths in specific student subgroups, such as ranking 3rd out of 27 Nebraska middle schools for English Language Learner students in the 2020-2021 school year. When compared to the nearby Wayne Junior High School, Emerson-Hubbard Middle School has similar academic performance in several subject areas, despite serving a smaller student population and being part of the Emerson-Hubbard Public Schools district, which is ranked lower than the Wayne Community Schools district.

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.
