Summary:

Wilber-Clatonia Middle School is a public middle school located in Wilber, Nebraska, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 143 students. The school is part of the Wilber-Clatonia Public Schools district, which is ranked 170 out of 212 districts in Nebraska and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Wilber-Clatonia Middle School's performance, as measured by NSCAS test scores, is generally lower than the state averages. For example, in 2022-2023, the school's 6th grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was 29% compared to the state average of 55%, and its 6th grade Mathematics proficiency rate was 41% compared to the state average of 57%. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 34.72% to 36.24% over the past three school years, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families. Additionally, the student population is predominantly White, with a relatively small percentage of Hispanic students and even smaller percentages of other racial/ethnic groups.

Despite these challenges, Wilber-Clatonia Middle School's low-income students have performed relatively well, ranking in the top 30 to 103 out of 115 to 144 Nebraska middle schools for this subgroup over the past three school years. However, the school's overall rankings have consistently placed it in the bottom half of Nebraska middle schools, with a ranking between 172 and 202 out of 223 to 238 schools over the past three school years. This suggests that the racial achievement gap is a concern at the school, and addressing the academic needs of all students should be a priority. In comparison, nearby schools like Norris Middle School, Beatrice Middle School, and Crete Middle School, which are part of the Norris School District 160, Beatrice Public Schools, and Crete Public Schools districts, respectively, have generally higher academic performance and rankings.

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.
