Elementary School At Wilber

Summary:

Elementary School At Wilber is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Wilber, Nebraska, with 294 students from predominantly White (76.53%) and Hispanic (17.35%) backgrounds. Despite being part of the Wilber-Clatonia Public Schools district, which is ranked 170 out of 212 districts in Nebraska, the school has consistently performed in the bottom half of the state's elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school's academic performance is a concern, with test scores on the NSCAS assessments generally below the state averages, particularly in mathematics. For example, in 2022-2023, only 41% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in math, compared to the state average of 58%. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 32.88% to 35.28% over the past few years, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. Interestingly, the school spends significantly more per student ($15,513 in 2022-2023) compared to the nearby Norris Intermediate School ($10,976), which are higher-performing.

The data analysis suggests that Elementary School At Wilber is a lower-performing school within the Wilber-Clatonia Public Schools district, with test scores, rankings, and other key metrics that lag behind nearby high-performing schools, such as those in the Norris School District 160. The school's declining performance over time and the disparity in outcomes compared to its peers warrant further investigation and targeted interventions to improve educational quality and student 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.
