Mt Nebo Elementary School

Summary:

MT Nebo Elementary School is a small public elementary school serving 110 students in grades PK-5 in the rural town of Mount Nebo, West Virginia. Despite its small size, the school consistently outperforms the Nicholas County Schools district and the state of West Virginia in academic assessments, with impressive proficiency rates in both mathematics and English language arts.

One notable aspect of MT Nebo Elementary is its lack of racial diversity, with a 100% White student population. This is in contrast to the more diverse nearby schools, such as Cherry River Elementary (96.03% White) and Summersville Elementary (96.95% White). However, the school's male and White student subgroups consistently rank in the top 5-10% of West Virginia elementary schools, suggesting the school is effectively meeting the needs of these student populations.

At $12,637 per student, MT Nebo Elementary's spending is higher than the state average, which may contribute to its strong academic performance. The school's small class sizes and strong community support, as evidenced by its high student enrollment, are also likely factors in its sustained excellence. Overall, MT Nebo Elementary School stands out as a high-performing, small rural school that delivers exceptional academic outcomes for its students, making it an interesting case study for understanding the factors that contribute to educational success in a rural setting.

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.
