Wilber-Clatonia Middle School

Summary:

Wilber-Clatonia Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in the small town of Wilber, Nebraska, with a student population of 143. While the school is part of the Wilber-Clatonia Public Schools district, which is ranked 142 out of 182 districts in the state, the middle school itself has consistently underperformed compared to the state averages on standardized tests.

Academically, Wilber-Clatonia Middle School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally lower than the state averages across all grade levels. When looking at specific student subgroups, the school's rankings for male and white students are relatively low, but it has performed well for students from low-income families.

Compared to nearby middle schools, such as Norris Middle School, Beatrice Middle School, and Crete Middle School, Wilber-Clatonia Middle School is underperforming academically. However, the school's small class sizes and strong performance for low-income students suggest that there may be opportunities for targeted interventions and support to improve overall academic 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.
