Chadron Intermediate

Summary:

Chadron Intermediate is a public elementary school serving grades 3-4 in Chadron, Nebraska, with a student population of 146. While the school is part of the Chadron Public Schools district, which is ranked 100 out of 212 districts in the state, Chadron Intermediate faces several challenges, including declining academic performance and a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

Compared to the nearby Hay Springs Elementary School, Chadron Intermediate has lower academic performance, with the percentage of students proficient or better in ELA and Math consistently below the state average. The school also has a higher percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 41.1% to 53.15% over the past three years, compared to 45% at Chadron Primary. Additionally, Chadron Intermediate's statewide ranking among Nebraska elementary schools has declined, from 176th out of 450 in 2017-2018 to 344th out of 459 in 2022-2023.

Despite the increase in per-student spending, from $12,851 in 2019-2020 to $14,654 in 2022-2023, Chadron Intermediate's academic performance has continued to decline, suggesting that the school may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation and instructional strategies. The school's leadership and the Chadron Public Schools district should closely examine the root causes of these issues and develop targeted strategies to address them, with a focus on improving academic outcomes for all 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.
