Summary:
Ansley Public Schools in Nebraska has only one elementary school, Ansley Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 121 students. The school's performance and trajectory raise significant concerns, as it has experienced a dramatic decline in its statewide ranking and rating over the past several years.
Academically, Ansley Elementary School is underperforming, with its students scoring well below the state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics on the NSCAS assessments. The school's 6th-grade students scored 44% proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 55%, and its 3rd and 6th-grade students scored 50% and 33% proficient or better in Mathematics, respectively, compared to state averages of 58% and 57%. This suggests that the school may be struggling to provide its students with a high-quality education and prepare them for academic success.
Additionally, Ansley Elementary School serves a student population with a high level of economic disadvantage, with over 54% of its students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This, combined with the school's low ranking and rating, raises questions about the allocation and utilization of resources to support student learning and address the unique needs of the school's student population. While the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.4 suggests adequate staffing, the high per-student spending of $20,378 suggests that the school may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation to better support its students and improve their academic outcomes.
