Winnebago Elementary School

Summary:

Winnebago Elementary School is a public school in Winnebago, Nebraska, serving grades PK-8 with 429 students, the vast majority of whom (95.57%) identify as Native American. This school stands out from nearby schools in its unique student population and persistent academic struggles, ranking among the lowest-performing elementary schools in the state.

Winnebago Elementary School consistently performs well below the state average in standardized test scores, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics as low as 10-15% in some grades. The school has ranked in the bottom 10% of Nebraska elementary schools for several years, indicating significant challenges in educating its student population. Interestingly, while the school ranks highly for its Native American students, it performs poorly for other subgroups, such as female students and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

Despite the school's high per-student spending, ranging from $25,959 to $28,881 over the past four years, its academic outcomes remain significantly lower than nearby schools like Cardinal Elementary School, Covington Elementary School, and Pender Elementary School. This raises questions about the efficient and effective use of resources at Winnebago Elementary School, and the need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique challenges faced by its student population.

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.
