Summary

Summerland Elementary School is a public elementary school in Ewing, Nebraska, serving 237 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Summerland Public Schools district, which is ranked 87 out of 115 districts in the state.

Summerland Elementary has shown strong academic performance, with students consistently outperforming the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 67.74% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 57.45%. However, the school has also experienced a concerning trend in chronic absenteeism, with rates increasing from 5.2% in 2022-2023 to 19.3% in 2024-2025. Additionally, 47.68% of Summerland Elementary students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, indicating a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

Compared to nearby Eastward Elementary School, which is part of the Neligh-Oakdale Schools district, Summerland Elementary's academic performance is generally stronger. However, the school's statewide ranking has declined in recent years, from 182 out of 457 Nebraska elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 266 out of 428 in 2023-2024. This trend warrants further investigation, as Summerland Elementary's relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio suggest a focus on providing resources for its students.
