Summary:

Plainview Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 203 students in grades PK-6 in Plainview, Nebraska, which is part of the Neligh-Oakdale Schools district. While the school has a significantly higher percentage of white students compared to the state average and nearby schools, its academic performance, as measured by test scores, is generally below the state average and the performance of high-performing schools like Bloomfield Elementary and Pierce Elementary.

Plainview Elementary School's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past decade, and the school has a relatively high percentage of students (48.28%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families compared to nearby schools like Osmond Elementary (11.24%) and Westward Elementary (25%). However, the school's ranking for its economically disadvantaged students is in the middle 50% of Nebraska elementary schools, suggesting that it is able to provide effective support and resources for these students.

The analysis of nearby schools reveals several high-performing options, such as Bloomfield Elementary and Pierce Elementary, which consistently rank in the top 50% or top 25% of Nebraska elementary schools. This provides context for Plainview Elementary's performance and suggests that there may be opportunities for the school to learn from these successful neighboring schools and collaborate to better serve the Plainview community.

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.
