Loomis Elementary School

Summary:

Loomis Elementary School is a public elementary school serving around 160 students in grades PK-6 in the small town of Loomis, Nebraska. This school consistently outperforms the state average in academic proficiency and stands out for its strong performance, favorable student-teacher ratio, and higher per-student spending compared to nearby schools.

Loomis Elementary School has maintained impressive academic achievement, with 91% of 3rd graders, 70% of 4th graders, 56% of 5th graders, and 78% of 6th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, significantly exceeding the state averages. In mathematics, the school had 85% of 4th graders and 74% of 6th graders proficient or better, again outpacing the state. This consistent high performance has earned the school 3 to 4 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger, placing it in the top half of Nebraska elementary schools. The school's student-teacher ratio of 13.6 is lower than the nearby Wilcox-Hildreth Public Schools, Overton Public Schools, Elm Creek Public Schools, Holdrege Public Schools, and Bertrand Public Schools, and its per-student spending of $17,368 is higher than the nearby schools, which range from $16,636 to $29,824 per student.

While Loomis Elementary School's academic performance is impressive, the school's student population is predominantly white, with only 0.62% African American, 5% Hispanic, and 3.75% two or more races. This lack of racial diversity is not representative of the state as a whole and may be an area for the school and district to explore. However, it's worth noting that some nearby schools, such as Overton Elementary School and Elm Creek Elementary School, also have strong academic performance in certain grade levels and subjects, suggesting a relatively high quality of education in the region.

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.
