Summary

Campbell Elementary School is a public elementary school in Lincoln, Nebraska, serving 649 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Lincoln Public Schools district, which is ranked 95 out of 115 districts in the state.

Campbell Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Nebraska elementary schools, with low performance on state assessments across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 39.8% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 54.66% for the Lincoln Public Schools district and 57.45% for the state. The school also has significantly higher chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 19.3% to 25.6% in recent years, which are much higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, 79.04% of Campbell Elementary students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high percentage of students from low-income families.

Interestingly, nearby schools such as Fredstrom Elementary, Hartley Elementary, and Riley Elementary generally perform better academically, with higher proficiency rates and lower chronic absenteeism. Despite Campbell Elementary's low performance, the school has a relatively high per-student spending of $16,528 in 2023-2024 and a low student-teacher ratio of 13:1, suggesting that the school may have adequate resources and staffing, but these resources do not appear to be translating into improved student outcomes.
