Northeast Elementary School

Summary:

Northeast Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Kearney, Nebraska, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 398 students. The school is part of the Kearney Public Schools district, which is ranked 44 out of 212 districts in Nebraska and is rated 4 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Northeast Elementary School has a more diverse student population compared to the nearby schools, with 71.11% White, 1.51% African American, 22.36% Hispanic, 0.75% Asian, 0.5% Native American, 0.25% Pacific Islander, and 3.52% two or more races. However, the school has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 46.73%, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools, such as Meadowlark Elementary (17.56%) and Windy Hills Elementary (21.37%). This suggests that Northeast Elementary serves a more economically disadvantaged population.

Despite its diverse student population, Northeast Elementary School's academic performance, as measured by the NSCAS tests, is generally lower than the Kearney Public Schools district and the state of Nebraska averages. For example, in the 2022-2023 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts ranged from 44% to 66%, compared to the district's 67% to 74% and the state's 55% to 63%. This lower academic performance is reflected in the school's statewide ranking, which has fluctuated but generally been in the middle to lower range of Nebraska elementary schools, currently ranking 244 out of 459 with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

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.
