Htrs Elementary School

Q: Is Htrs Elementary School a good school?

Htrs Elementary School ranks 253 rd of 459 Nebraska elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Htrs Elementary School is a public elementary school in Humboldt, Nebraska, serving 165 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Humboldt Table Rock Steinauer School District. While the school has some strengths, such as a low student-teacher ratio and above-average 3rd-grade test scores, it faces challenges in maintaining its statewide ranking and addressing the needs of its diverse student population.

Htrs Elementary School stands out for its significantly higher percentage of white students (95.76%) compared to the state average and nearby schools like Johnson County Central El-Tecumseh and Falls City North Elementary. However, the school's academic performance has been mixed, with 4th and 5th-grade test scores falling below the state average, suggesting a need for improvement in the upper elementary grades. Additionally, Htrs Elementary has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (26.67%), indicating a lower proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds compared to nearby schools.

Despite its strengths, Htrs Elementary School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 16th out of 430 Nebraska elementary schools in 2006-2007 to 253rd out of 459 in the most recent 2022-2023 school year. This decline suggests a need to investigate the factors contributing to this trend and implement strategies to improve the school's performance, particularly in comparison to high-performing schools in the region like the Johnson-Brock Public Schools district, which has an elementary school ranked 16th in the state.

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.
