Crawford Elementary School

Summary:

Crawford Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Crawford, Nebraska, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 102 students. The school is part of the Crawford Public Schools district, which is ranked 52 out of 212 districts in Nebraska and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Crawford Elementary School has a significantly higher percentage of white students compared to the state average, ranging from 86.17% to 95.1% over the past three school years. The school's test scores in NSCAS/English Language Arts and Mathematics have been mixed compared to the state averages, with some grade levels and subjects performing better and others underperforming, particularly in Mathematics. The school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 46.81% to 65.69% over the past three school years, which is significantly higher than the state average. However, Crawford Elementary School has a relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $18,941 to $25,286 over the past four school years, and a low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 8.5 to 10.2 over the past three school years.

Interestingly, while Crawford Elementary School has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger in recent years, its statewide ranking has fluctuated, ranging from 133 out of 480 schools in 2015-2016 to 271 out of 459 schools in 2022-2023, suggesting that the school's performance may be declining relative to other schools in the state. Additionally, the nearby Pink School, located in Marsland, Nebraska, has a much smaller enrollment of only 7 students and a significantly higher per-student spending of $43,865, indicating that smaller, more rural schools may have access to greater resources per student, but may also face unique challenges in terms of staffing and program offerings.

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.
