Summary:

Ashbury Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Papillion, Nebraska, serving grades PK-6 with a student population of 279. The school is part of the Papillion La Vista Community Schools district, which is ranked 77 out of 182 districts in Nebraska and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ashbury Elementary consistently performs above the state average in NSCAS English Language Arts and Mathematics assessments across all grade levels. In 2023-2024, the school's 6th-grade students achieved 79.07% proficiency in both ELA and Mathematics, significantly higher than the state averages of 58.3% and 57.22%, respectively. However, Ashbury has experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 2.8% in 2020-2021 to 21.1% in 2023-2024, which is higher than the district average. The school's female students have shown a fluctuating performance, ranking from 115th to 84th out of 203-349 Nebraska elementary schools in the past three years, while the male students and white students have maintained a consistent ranking in the middle third of Nebraska elementary schools.

Ashbury Elementary's test scores are generally on par with or slightly lower than the top-performing nearby schools, such as Bell Elementary, Portal Elementary, and Patriot Elementary. However, Ashbury's chronic absenteeism rate is higher than the nearby schools, which may be an area of concern. Additionally, the school's spending per student has decreased from $17,555 in 2020-2021 to $12,530 in 2022-2023, which is lower than the district average, suggesting the school may be facing budgetary constraints that could impact the resources and support available to students and teachers.

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.
