Malcolm Elementary School

Summary:

Malcolm Elementary School is a public elementary school in Malcolm, Nebraska, serving 336 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Malcolm Public Schools district, which is ranked 7th out of 212 districts in Nebraska and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Malcolm Elementary School consistently outperforms the state average in academic proficiency, with significantly higher percentages of students proficient or better in NSCAS/English Language Arts and NSCAS/Mathematics compared to the state. However, the school has a predominantly white student population (94.35%), which is in stark contrast to the diversity seen in nearby Lincoln Public Schools like Lakeview Elementary, Belmont Elementary, and Campbell Elementary. Additionally, Malcolm Elementary has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (16.07%), compared to the higher rates seen in many of the nearby Lincoln Public Schools.

Despite its strong academic performance, the significant differences in student demographics and academic performance between Malcolm Elementary School and the nearby Lincoln Public Schools raise questions about educational equity and access to high-quality learning opportunities for all students in the region. Further analysis would be needed to understand the underlying factors contributing to these disparities.

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.
