Blumfield Elementary has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with a higher percentage of Hispanic (39.27%) and African American (9.6%) students. However, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Nebraska elementary schools, ranking between 362-394 out of 442-459 schools over the past 7 years. Blumfield students underperform compared to the district and state in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency, with only 37% of 3rd graders proficient in ELA, compared to 48% in the district and 63% statewide. The school also has a high percentage of students (65.82%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

Blumfield Elementary's performance has declined over the years, and its struggles are in stark contrast to the higher-performing nearby schools, such as Norris Elementary and Hitchcock Elementary, both part of the Millard Public Schools district, which rank in the top 5% and 1% of Nebraska elementary schools, respectively. Addressing the root causes of Blumfield's academic struggles, such as the socioeconomic status of the student population and the school's funding, could be crucial in improving the educational outcomes for the students.

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.
