Chadron Intermediate

Summary:

Chadron Intermediate is a public elementary school serving grades 3-4 in Chadron, Nebraska, part of the Chadron Public Schools district. With 146 students, the school has seen its statewide ranking fluctuate over the past decade, ranging from 162 to 346 out of around 450 Nebraska elementary schools.

Chadron Intermediate's test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics have been mixed compared to the state averages. While the school's 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate was significantly higher than the state's, the 4th grade rate was only slightly above the state's. In Mathematics, the 3rd grade proficiency rate was above the state's, but the 4th grade rate was also only slightly higher. The school's chronic absenteeism rate has ranged from 14.0% to 21.5%, higher than the 20% rate at the nearby Chadron Primary school. Additionally, Chadron Intermediate has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 41.1% to 53.15%, slightly higher than the 45% rate at Chadron Primary.

Despite these challenges, Chadron Intermediate appears to be a solid performing school, particularly in core academic areas. The school's strong performance in 3rd grade ELA and Mathematics, consistently outpacing the state averages, suggests it is effectively supporting student learning in these critical areas. However, the school's fluctuating statewide ranking and higher chronic absenteeism rates indicate the need to identify and address the underlying factors contributing to these issues. Continued investment in the school and a focus on supporting its economically disadvantaged student population could help Chadron Intermediate maintain and improve its 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.
