La Vista West Elementary School

Summary:

La Vista West Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in the Papillion La Vista Community Schools district, with a student population of 310 in the diverse community of La Vista, Nebraska.

While La Vista West Elementary has a racially diverse student body, the school consistently underperforms compared to the district and state averages in academic assessments. In the 2022-2023 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics were significantly lower than the Papillion La Vista Community Schools district and the state of Nebraska. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 66.45% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which is much higher than nearby schools. As a result, La Vista West Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Nebraska elementary schools, with a ranking of 388 out of 459 schools in the 2022-2023 school year.

Interestingly, the school's higher spending per student of $17,629, compared to the nearby Tara Heights Elementary and Parkview Heights Elementary schools, which range from $12,204 to $16,083 per student, does not seem to be translating into improved academic outcomes. This suggests that the school may need to re-evaluate its strategies and practices to better support student learning and achievement.

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.
