Central Valley Elementary - Scotia stands out for its consistently strong academic performance, with generally higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the state average, particularly in 3rd, 5th, and 6th grades. However, the school's 4th-grade proficiency rates are lower than the state average. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.9, lower than nearby schools like Loup City Elementary School (11.7) and Ord Elementary School (14.3).

While Central Valley Elementary - Scotia's performance is generally strong, the school faces some challenges. It has a significantly higher percentage of white students (94.65%) compared to surrounding schools, suggesting a more homogeneous student population. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 204 in 2018-2019 to 275 in 2022-2023, indicating a relative decline in performance compared to other Nebraska elementary schools. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (48.66%) also suggests that the school may face challenges in addressing the needs of students from low-income backgrounds, which could impact academic performance.

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.
