Elliott Elementary School

Summary:

Elliott Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Lincoln, Nebraska, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 370 students. 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.

Elliott Elementary has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with a racial makeup of 24.32% White, 11.08% African American, 34.32% Hispanic, 16.49% Asian, and 11.89% two or more races. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by NSCAS tests, is generally lower than the Lincoln Public Schools district and the state of Nebraska averages. For example, in the 2022-2023 school year, only 35-51% of Elliott students were proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics, compared to 57-63% for the district and 55-65% for the state. Additionally, Elliott Elementary has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 81.35% to 82.42% in recent years, significantly higher than nearby schools like Sheridan Elementary at 19.31%.

Despite its challenges, Elliott Elementary is located in close proximity to several higher-performing schools, such as Sheridan Elementary and Randolph Elementary, suggesting opportunities for collaboration and sharing of best practices. The school's consistent low performance, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade, indicates that it faces significant challenges in improving student outcomes, which may be related to the high percentage of students from low-income families. Addressing these underlying issues could be crucial for improving student performance at Elliott Elementary.

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.
