Grant Elementary School

Summary:

Grant Elementary School is a public elementary school in Norfolk, Nebraska, serving 228 students in grades PK-4. The school is part of the Norfolk Public Schools district, which is ranked 132 out of 212 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Grant Elementary has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with a higher percentage of Hispanic (45.18%) and two or more races (6.58%) students. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in NSCAS English Language Arts and Mathematics, is generally lower than the district and state averages. For example, in 2022-2023, only 67% of 3rd graders and 54% of 4th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 70% and 57% for the district, respectively. Additionally, Grant Elementary has a very high percentage of students (82.02%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

Despite spending more per student ($13,030 in 2022-2023) compared to the state average, Grant Elementary's academic performance has declined over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 220 out of 452 schools in 2018-2019 to 301 out of 459 schools in 2022-2023. However, there are some bright spots, as Grant Elementary's 3rd-grade ELA proficiency rate of 67% in 2022-2023 was higher than Woodland Park Elementary's 53% and on par with Washington Elementary's 69%. The school's diverse student population is a strength that the district should leverage to create a more inclusive and equitable learning environment, while also addressing the challenges of supporting the academic success of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

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.
