Elementary Schools in Overton Public Schools

Summary:

Overton Public Schools has only one elementary school, Overton Elementary School, which serves students in grades K-5. The school's performance has declined over the past three years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 193rd out of 457 Nebraska elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 295th out of 428 in 2023-2024. Additionally, the school's SchoolDigger rating has decreased from 3 stars to 2 stars during this time period.

Academically, Overton Elementary School's performance is mixed compared to state averages. While the school excels in 3rd grade Mathematics with a 70% proficiency rate, it underperforms the state average in 3rd grade English Language Arts (55% vs. 58.91%), 5th grade Mathematics (50% vs. 61.1%), and 5th grade Science (65% vs. 82.59%). The school also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 53.66%, which is higher than the state average.

Despite the higher spending per student at $19,122, which is above the state average, Overton Elementary School's performance does not seem to be commensurate with the level of resources invested. This suggests that the Overton Public Schools district may need to re-evaluate how it allocates and utilizes its financial resources to better support student learning and achievement at the elementary school level.
