Elementary Schools in Kimball Public Schools

Summary:

Kimball Public Schools is a small school district in Nebraska that operates a single elementary school, Mary Lynch Elementary. The school serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade and is located in the town of Kimball.

Mary Lynch Elementary has seen fluctuating performance in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 174th out of 428 Nebraska elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 296th out of 459 in 2022-2023. The school's academic achievement on NSCAS tests has been mixed, outperforming the state average in some grade levels and subjects but underperforming in others. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 19.3% is higher than the state average.

Despite these challenges, Mary Lynch Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.7, and its per-student spending of $19,060 is higher than the state average. However, the school serves a population with a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 51.77% in the 2023-2024 school year. This suggests that the school may be facing significant socioeconomic challenges that could impact student success.
