Linden Elementary School

Summary:

Linden Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-4 in Fremont, Nebraska, with a student population of 355. The school faces significant challenges, as it consistently ranks in the bottom half of Nebraska elementary schools and struggles with low academic performance, high poverty rates, and declining racial diversity.

Linden Elementary's academic performance is significantly below state averages, with only 26-42% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 13-57% proficient or better in Mathematics on the NSCAS standardized tests. The school has very high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 70.74% to 79.15%, much higher than the state and Fremont Public Schools district averages. Despite the low academic performance, Linden Elementary spends a relatively high amount per student, ranging from $11,850 to $13,250 per year, which is higher than the district average.

Compared to other elementary schools in the Fremont Public Schools district, such as Clarmar Elementary and Howard Elementary, Linden Elementary performs significantly worse, with lower academic proficiency rates and worse statewide rankings. The school's increasing concentration of Hispanic students and students from low-income families, combined with its declining academic performance, raises concerns about educational equity and the school's ability to provide a high-quality education to 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.
