Eureka Elementary School

Summary:

Eureka Elementary School is a high-performing public elementary school in Eureka, Nevada, serving 139 students in grades PK-6. The school has consistently ranked among the top elementary schools in the state, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger in the most recent school year.

Academically, Eureka Elementary School outperforms the state average in both mathematics and reading proficiency across all grade levels. In the 2023-2024 school year, 67.6% of Eureka students were proficient or better in reading, compared to the state average of 41.3%. The school's 4th-grade students stand out, with 85.7% proficient or better in reading and 81% in mathematics, significantly higher than the state averages of 43.5% and 39.8%, respectively. This consistent academic excellence has been a hallmark of the school for over a decade.

Eureka Elementary School's student demographic composition is notable, with a predominantly white student population. The school's racial makeup has remained relatively stable over the past few years, and its lower percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, as well as its higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratio, suggest a well-resourced educational environment. Further investigation into how the school's resource allocation and utilization contribute to its academic success could provide valuable insights for other schools and districts seeking to improve 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.
