Elliott Elementary School

Summary:

Elliott Elementary School is a public elementary school in Lincoln, Nebraska, serving 370 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Lincoln Public Schools district, which is ranked 130 out of 182 districts in the state.

Elliott Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state averages in academic metrics. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 32.31%, 37%, and 39.29% of 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, respectively, compared to the district scores of 58.04%, 56.68%, and 56.02%. The school's math proficiency rates are also significantly lower than the district and state averages. Additionally, Elliott Elementary has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 21.1% to 27.2% over the past few years, which is much higher than the district and state.

When comparing Elliott Elementary to other nearby schools in the Lincoln Public Schools district, it becomes clear that Elliott is an outlier in terms of academic performance and other key metrics. For example, Sheridan Elementary, located just 1.66 miles away, consistently ranks among the top 20 elementary schools in Nebraska and has significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics. The persistent underperformance of Elliott Elementary over the past decade suggests that the school may be facing systemic challenges that have not been adequately addressed.

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.
