Belmont Elementary School

Summary:

Belmont Elementary School is a public elementary school in Lincoln, Nebraska, serving 814 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Lincoln Public Schools district, which is ranked 138 out of 212 districts in the state.

Belmont Elementary stands out for its diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 42.51% White, 15.23% African American, 27.03% Hispanic, and 11.43% two or more races. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by state assessments, is generally lower than the district and state averages. For example, in the 2022-2023 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts ranged from 40% to 49%, compared to the district's 57% to 62% and the state's 55% to 63%. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with African American and multi-racial students performing better than White and special education students.

Belmont Elementary has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 76.82% to 80.62% over the past three school years, which is significantly higher than nearby schools like Kooser Elementary and Fredstrom Elementary. The school also has a relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $13,460 to $14,728 over the past four school years, which is higher than the nearby schools. Despite these resources, Belmont Elementary's statewide ranking has been steadily declining, suggesting that the school may need to address equity and inclusion issues to improve student outcomes.

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.
