Battle Mountain Elementary School

Summary:

Battle Mountain Elementary School is a public elementary school in Battle Mountain, Nevada, serving 440 students in grades PK-4 as part of the Lander School District. However, the school has consistently underperformed compared to the state average in both mathematics and reading proficiency across all grades, with its statewide ranking dropping from 83rd out of 328 Nevada elementary schools in 2011-2012 to 322nd out of 377 in 2023-2024.

The school's academic performance has declined over the years, with its mathematics proficiency rate for the 2023-2024 school year at 21.6%, compared to the state average of 32.6%, and its reading proficiency rate at 27.6%, compared to the state average of 41.3%. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 47.73% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year.

Despite the increase in per-student spending, from $9,106 in 2018-2019 to $13,752 in 2021-2022, the school's student-teacher ratio remains relatively high at 25.8 students per teacher in the 2022-2023 school year, which is above the state average. This suggests a need for better resource allocation to support smaller class sizes and more individualized instruction, which could help address the school's academic challenges.

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.
