Summary:

Washington Elementary School is a public elementary school in Fremont, Nebraska, serving 385 students in grades PK-4. The school is part of the Fremont Public Schools district, which is ranked 206 out of 212 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Washington Elementary faces significant challenges, including a student population that is 79.48% Hispanic, well above the surrounding schools, which range from 15.44% to 60.56% Hispanic. The school consistently underperforms the district and state in standardized test scores, with only 34% of 3rd graders and 28% of 4th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 41% and 35% for the district, and 63% and 55% for the state. Additionally, Washington Elementary has an exceptionally high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 73.42% to 81.3% over the past three years, significantly higher than the 39.19% to 69.07% range of nearby schools. As a result, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-20% of Nebraska elementary schools.

Despite the school's high spending per student, ranging from $11,100 to $12,842 over the past four years, the academic struggles at Washington Elementary have persisted. Nearby schools, such as Howard Elementary, Clarmar Elementary, and Grant Elementary, have significantly higher academic performance and statewide rankings, suggesting that factors beyond demographics, such as instructional practices and resource allocation, may play a role in Washington Elementary's underperformance. While the school faces significant challenges, the data indicates that there may be opportunities for improvement with targeted interventions and support.

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.
