Garden County Elementary School

Summary:

Garden County Elementary School is a public elementary school in Oshkosh, Nebraska, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 96 students. The school is part of the Garden County Schools district, which is ranked 127 out of 182 districts in the state.

Academically, Garden County Elementary School has shown mixed performance compared to the state average. While the school has outperformed the state in some areas, such as 4th and 6th grade math, it has underperformed in others, like 5th grade science. The school's English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rates have generally been lower than the state average, but it has had more success in mathematics, often exceeding the state's proficiency rates. The school's high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 5.7% to 44.1%, are a significant concern and may be impacting its academic performance.

Despite these challenges, Garden County Elementary School has demonstrated success in serving its high-needs student population, ranking among the top 25% of Nebraska elementary schools in proficiency for low-income students. The school's relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio may contribute to its ability to support its students. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism and building on the school's strengths in serving low-income students could be key strategies to improve overall student outcomes.

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.
