Summary:

Elementary School At Tekamah is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Tekamah, Nebraska, with 297 students. The school is part of the Tekamah-Herman Community Schools district, which is ranked 112 out of 182 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the school has shown some strengths, such as strong performance among its low-income students and high 5th grade Science proficiency, it has struggled with declining test scores, increasing chronic absenteeism, and underperformance compared to nearby schools. In 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics were generally on par with or slightly above the state and district averages, but in 2022-2023, the school's proficiency rates were lower than the state and district in both subjects across all grades. The school's chronic absenteeism rate has also been steadily increasing, reaching 21.1% in 2023-2024, significantly higher than the state average.

Interestingly, Northeast Elementary At Lyons, Logan View Elementary, and Blair Deerfield Elementary all outperformed Elementary School At Tekamah on ELA and Math proficiency in 2023-2024, and these nearby schools also had lower chronic absenteeism rates and higher percentages of students proficient in Science. However, Elementary School At Tekamah had a lower student-teacher ratio and lower per-student spending compared to these higher-performing schools.

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.
