Dieck Elementary faces several key challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, lower academic performance compared to state and district averages, and a student population with significant socioeconomic needs. The school has a higher percentage of White students (76.68%) compared to nearby schools, such as Morrish Elementary, Syring Elementary, and Elms Road Elementary, which have more diverse student populations. Dieck Elementary's academic performance, as measured by M-Step proficiency rates, is generally lower than the state and district averages across various grade levels and subjects.

The high chronic absenteeism rates at Dieck Elementary, ranging from 16.7% to 41.6% over the past few years, are a significant concern and may be contributing to the school's lower academic performance. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 52.83% to 65.37%, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. Addressing these challenges through targeted interventions, resource allocation, and collaboration with the broader community could be crucial for improving student outcomes and the overall performance of Dieck Elementary School.

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.
