Bassett Grade School

Summary:

Bassett Grade School is an elementary school in Bassett, Nebraska, serving 141 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Rock County Public Schools district, which is ranked 126 out of 212 districts in the state.

Bassett Grade School stands out for its consistently strong academic performance, with students scoring well above the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across grades 3, 4, and 6. For example, the school's 6th-grade Math proficiency rate was 82% in 2022-2023, compared to the state average of 57%. Additionally, the school has a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (34.04%) than the state average, indicating a relatively higher socioeconomic status of the student population. Bassett Grade School also spends $21,250 per student, which is higher than the state average and the spending of nearby schools like Spring View Elementary ($19,014) and Ainsworth Elementary ($23,024).

One notable aspect of Bassett Grade School is its racial homogeneity, with a significantly higher percentage of white students (96.45%) compared to the state average. This could be an area for the school to explore in terms of promoting inclusivity and diversity. However, the school's low student-teacher ratio of 10.6 and efficient resource allocation suggest it is well-positioned to continue supporting the educational needs of the Bassett community. While Bassett Grade School outperforms nearby schools in several metrics, it is important to consider the unique contexts and challenges faced by each school, and continued collaboration among these schools could benefit all students in the region.

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.
