Stoddard Elementary School

Summary:

Stoddard Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Beatrice, Nebraska, serving grades 3-5 with a total enrollment of 217 students. The school is part of the Beatrice Public Schools district, which is ranked 168 out of 182 districts in Nebraska and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Stoddard Elementary School's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in NSCAS (Nebraska Student-Centered Assessment System) tests, is generally lower than the state average and the performance of the Beatrice Public Schools district. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Stoddard's 3rd-grade English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rate was 50%, compared to the state average of 58.91% and the Beatrice Public Schools district average of 49.18%. Similarly, Stoddard's 5th-grade Mathematics proficiency rate was 50%, compared to the state average of 61.1% and the Beatrice Public Schools district average of 36.96%. However, Stoddard's 5th-grade Science proficiency rate of 87.18% was higher than the state average of 82.59% and the Beatrice Public Schools district average of 74.64%.

Stoddard Elementary School faces several challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 21.1% to 23.7% in recent years, which are significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic status backgrounds, with 58.06% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year. While Stoddard's student-teacher ratio is relatively low, ranging from 14.7 to 15.1 in recent years, this does not appear to be sufficient to overcome the other factors impacting student achievement. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism and implementing targeted interventions to support student learning could be important steps in improving the school's performance.

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.
