Elementary School At Johnson

Summary:

Elementary School At Johnson is a public elementary school in Johnson, Nebraska, serving 202 students in grades PK-6 and part of the highly-ranked Johnson County Central Public Schools district.

This school consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Nebraska, with exceptional academic performance. Students at Elementary School At Johnson demonstrate significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science compared to state averages. However, the student population is overwhelmingly White, with over 99% of students identifying as such, in contrast to the greater racial diversity observed in nearby schools like Hayward Elementary School and Johnson County Central El-Tecumseh. Additionally, the school has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a higher socioeconomic status of the student population.

The high per-student spending at Elementary School At Johnson, ranging from $11,991 to $15,488 over the past four school years, may contribute to the school's academic success. However, this raises questions about the equitable allocation of resources and whether the school is effectively addressing the needs of students from lower-income backgrounds. Overall, Elementary School At Johnson is an exceptional educational institution, but the lack of racial diversity and potential socioeconomic factors warrant further investigation to ensure that all students have access to the same educational opportunities.

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.
