Summary:

Summerland Elementary School is a public elementary school in Ewing, Nebraska, serving 244 students in grades PK-6. The school consistently outperforms the state average in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency, with particularly strong performance in 5th-grade science. Despite having a relatively high percentage of students from low-income backgrounds, Summerland Elementary School has been able to support their academic success.

Summerland Elementary School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (90.16%) compared to the state average and nearby schools, with lower percentages of Hispanic (6.97%) and Native American (1.64%) students. The school's male students consistently outperform their female counterparts, which may warrant further investigation. Summerland Elementary School also outperforms the nearby Eastward Elementary School and Westward Elementary School, which are part of the Neligh-Oakdale Schools district, in both academic performance and student-teacher ratio.

While Summerland Elementary School is performing well overall, there are a few areas where the school could potentially improve, such as closing the achievement gap between male and female students and further supporting the academic growth of its Hispanic and Native American students. However, the school's consistent academic performance, particularly in ELA, Mathematics, and Science, is a testament to the effectiveness of its educational practices and the dedication of its staff.

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.
