Hemingford Elementary School

Summary:

Hemingford Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Hemingford, Nebraska, with 224 students. The school is part of the Hemingford Public Schools district, which is ranked 110 out of 182 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hemingford Elementary School has consistently performed above the state average in NSCAS (Nebraska Student-Centered Assessment System) test scores for English Language Arts and Mathematics across grades 3-6. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate was 74.36% compared to the state average of 58.91%, and its 5th grade Math proficiency rate was 64.52% compared to the state average of 61.10%. This strong academic performance is a key differentiator for Hemingford Elementary, as the nearby Grandview Elementary School in the Alliance Public Schools district has lower proficiency rates across the board.

However, the school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 12.0% in 2022-2023 to 21.5% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the 21.1% chronic absenteeism rate reported for the nearby Grandview Elementary and Emerson Elementary schools in the Alliance Public Schools district. The school should explore strategies to address this issue and improve attendance.

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.
