Summary:
The Deshler Public Schools district in Nebraska has only one elementary school, Deshler Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 125 students. The school has a low statewide ranking, with a 1-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger for the 2023-2024 school year, placing it in the bottom third of Nebraska elementary schools.
Deshler Elementary School's academic performance is mixed, with some subject areas performing better than the state average, such as 4th grade mathematics, while others lag behind, such as 6th grade English Language Arts. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.1%, which may be contributing to its overall low performance. Additionally, the school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, with 41.6% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite the relatively high spending per student of $22,688, the school's performance has been declining over the past three years, indicating a need for a more comprehensive and effective approach to improving academic outcomes. Addressing the challenges faced by Deshler Elementary School, such as chronic absenteeism and inconsistent academic performance, will likely require a multi-faceted strategy that considers both academic and non-academic factors impacting student success.
