Summary:

Schuyler Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Schuyler, Nebraska, with 621 students. The school is part of the Schuyler Community Schools district, which is ranked 179 out of 182 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Schuyler Elementary School consistently underperforms the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across grades 3-5, with only 46.09% of 3rd graders proficient in ELA compared to the state average of 58.91%. The school also has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 16.4% to 21.5% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, Schuyler Elementary School has a very high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 51.29% to 74.07% in recent years, indicating a high proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

However, the school's strong performance for certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic and English Language Learner students, suggests that there may be opportunities to learn from its practices and apply them more broadly to improve the school's overall academic outcomes. Nearby schools, such as North Bend Central Elementary School and Richland Elementary School, are both higher-performing schools within the same region, providing potential models for improvement.

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.
