Summary:

1r Elementary is a public elementary school in Grand Island, Nebraska, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 190 students. This school stands out for its consistently strong academic performance, outpacing the state and Grand Island Public Schools district in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels.

In the 2022-2023 school year, 1r Elementary had significantly higher proficiency rates compared to the state and district, with 67% of 3rd graders, 90% of 4th graders, and 76% of 8th graders scoring proficient or better in ELA. In Mathematics, the school's performance was even stronger, with 81% of 3rd graders, 95% of 4th graders, and 90% of 8th graders scoring proficient or better. This academic excellence is reflected in the school's 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and its ranking in the top 25-30% of Nebraska elementary schools.

While 1r Elementary serves a predominantly white student population, with over 90% of students identifying as white, the nearby Grand Island Public Schools have much more diverse student populations. Additionally, 1r Elementary has a lower percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 24.61% to 31.22% over the past three school years, compared to the surrounding district schools, which have higher rates of economically disadvantaged students. These demographic and socioeconomic differences likely contribute to the school's strong academic performance, but also highlight the importance of considering the unique needs and contexts of each school when evaluating educational outcomes.

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.
