Loup City Elementary School

Summary:

Loup City Elementary School is a public elementary school in Loup City, Nebraska, serving 201 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Loup City Public Schools district, which is ranked 189 out of 212 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Loup City Elementary School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (85.57%) compared to the state average, as well as a higher percentage of Hispanic students (9.95%) and lower percentages of African American and Asian students. Academically, the school has shown mixed performance, outperforming the state average in 3rd and 6th grade English Language Arts but underperforming in 4th grade and in 3rd, 4th, and 6th grade mathematics. The school has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (48.26%), indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families. However, Loup City Elementary School has a higher spending per student ($19,608) and a lower student-teacher ratio (11.7) compared to the state average.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Ravenna Elementary School, Loup City Elementary School has a higher percentage of white students and a lower percentage of minority students. Ravenna Elementary School is also ranked much higher in the state than Loup City Elementary. While Loup City Elementary's higher spending and lower student-teacher ratio suggest greater investment in resources, this has not translated to consistently better academic outcomes, as evidenced by the school's declining statewide ranking. Continued efforts to address these challenges and support student learning will be crucial for the school's future success.

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.
