Summary:

Louisville Middle School is a public middle school serving 115 students in grades 7-8 in Louisville, Nebraska, which is part of the Ashland-Greenwood Public Schools district, ranked 43 out of 212 districts in the state with a 4-star rating.

Louisville Middle School stands out for its consistently strong academic performance, with test scores that significantly outpace the state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. In 2022-2023, the school's proficiency rates were 56% in 7th grade ELA, 75% in 8th grade ELA, 80% in 7th grade Math, 73% in 8th grade Math, and 72% in 8th grade Science. This is notably higher than the state averages.

While Louisville Middle School has maintained a strong statewide ranking, its position has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 74th to 184th out of Nebraska middle schools. This could be due to changes in the school's performance or the competitive landscape of middle schools in the state. Additionally, the school has a significantly higher percentage of white students (93.04%) compared to the surrounding schools, which have more diverse student populations. This demographic difference is an interesting contrast that warrants further exploration.

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.
