Knickrehm Elementary School

Public Grades PK, KG-5

Summary

Knickrehm Elementary School is a public elementary school in Grand Island, Nebraska, serving 223 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Grand Island Public Schools district, which is ranked 174 out of 182 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Knickrehm Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Nebraska elementary schools, maintaining a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade. The school's student performance on state assessments is significantly below the state and district averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. For example, in 2023-2024, only 36.59% of 3rd graders, 46.15% of 4th graders, and 27% of 5th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state averages of 58.91%, 58.98%, and 57.43%, respectively. Knickrehm Elementary also has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 19.4% to 26% over the past few years, which is much higher than the state and district averages.

Compared to other nearby elementary schools in the Grand Island Public Schools district, such as Gates, Starr, Newell, and Wasmer, Knickrehm's performance is generally lower. These nearby schools tend to have higher student achievement, lower chronic absenteeism, and better overall rankings. Knickrehm's high poverty rate, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, likely contributes to the school's challenges in student outcomes.
