Creek Valley Elementary School

Summary:

Creek Valley Elementary School is a public elementary school in Chappell, Nebraska, serving 99 students in grades PK-6 as part of the Creek Valley Schools district. The school has seen fluctuating academic performance over the years, ranging from a high 4-star rating in 2011-2012 to a low 1-star rating in 2018-2019. In the most recent school year, the school ranked 262nd out of 428 Nebraska elementary schools with a 2-star rating, placing it below the state average.

One significant concern is the school's high chronic absenteeism rates, which have ranged from 15.1% to 30.0% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average. The school's academic performance has also been mixed, with some grade levels and subject areas scoring above the state and district averages, while others fall below. Additionally, a relatively high percentage of students (37.86% to 49.49%) receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

Despite these challenges, the school has seen some positive changes, including an increase in per-student spending and a decrease in the student-teacher ratio, suggesting a potential increase in resources and support for students. However, the impact of these changes on academic performance is not yet clear. Overall, the analysis of Creek Valley Elementary School suggests the need for a more comprehensive and targeted approach to address the school's academic and attendance-related issues and improve the educational experience for its students.

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.
