Kahoa Elementary School

Summary:

As part of the Lincoln Public Schools district, Kahoa consistently outperforms the district and state averages in academic proficiency, ranking in the top 20-30% of Nebraska elementary schools.

Kahoa's academic excellence is evident across grade levels and subject areas. In the 2023-2024 school year, its 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade students scored significantly higher than the district and state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. The school's statewide ranking of 100 out of 428 Nebraska elementary schools, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, further demonstrates its strong performance. Kahoa also stands out in certain student subgroups, with its male students ranking 30 out of 203 Nebraska elementary schools and its white students ranking 99 out of 261 schools.

When compared to nearby schools in the Lincoln Public Schools district, Kahoa Elementary School outperforms many of its counterparts in academic proficiency and statewide rankings. For instance, Norwood Park Elementary, Riley Elementary, and Huntington Elementary all have lower test scores and statewide rankings compared to Kahoa. While Kahoa's performance is exceptional, the school could potentially improve in areas such as special education student subgroup performance and further reducing chronic absenteeism rates.

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.
