Clinton Elementary School

Summary:

Clinton Elementary School is a public elementary school in Lincoln, Nebraska, serving 407 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Lincoln Public Schools district, which is ranked 138 out of 212 districts in Nebraska and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Clinton Elementary has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with a higher percentage of African American (22.85%) and Hispanic (24.32%) students. However, the school consistently underperforms the Lincoln Public Schools district and the state of Nebraska in standardized test scores, with only 44% of 3rd graders, 37% of 4th graders, and 44% of 5th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 62% and 63% for the district and state, respectively. This may be due to the school's very high percentage of students (over 89%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite these challenges, Clinton Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.6, which could be an advantage in providing more individualized attention to students.

While Clinton Elementary's overall academic performance is low, the school performs relatively well in certain student subgroups, ranking 6th out of 20 Nebraska elementary schools for African American students and 47th out of 108 for Hispanic students. Additionally, the school's per-student spending of $17,607 in the 2022-2023 school year is significantly higher than the nearby Belmont Elementary School and Huntington Elementary School, which have similar or lower academic performance and school rankings. These factors suggest that Clinton Elementary may face unique challenges, such as higher rates of poverty, language barriers, or other socioeconomic factors that impact student learning and achievement, and could benefit from targeted interventions and support to help 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.
