Creek Valley Elementary School

Creek Valley Elementary School is a public elementary school in Chappell, Nebraska, serving 99 students in grades PK-6 as part of the Creek Valley Schools district. The school has seen fluctuating academic performance over the years, ranging from a high 4-star rating in 2011-2012 to a low 1-star rating in 2018-2019. In the most recent school year, the school ranked 262nd out of 428 Nebraska elementary schools with a 2-star rating, placing it below the state average.

One significant concern is the school's high chronic absenteeism rates, which have ranged from 15.1% to 30.0% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average. The school's academic performance has also been mixed, with some grade levels and subject areas scoring above the state and district averages, while others fall below. Additionally, a relatively high percentage of students (37.86% to 49.49%) receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

Despite these challenges, the school has seen some positive changes, including an increase in per-student spending and a decrease in the student-teacher ratio, suggesting a potential increase in resources and support for students. However, the impact of these changes on academic performance is not yet clear. Overall, the analysis of Creek Valley Elementary School suggests the need for a more comprehensive and targeted approach to address the school's academic and attendance-related issues and improve the educational experience for its students.
