Summary

Belmont Elementary School is a public elementary school in Lincoln, Nebraska, serving 788 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Lincoln Public Schools district, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Belmont Elementary School has faced significant academic challenges in recent years. The school consistently underperforms compared to the district and state in standardized test scores, with only 45% of 4th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts in 2024-2025, compared to 56.52% for the district and 59.59% for the state. Belmont also has high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 19.3% to 25.6% over the past few years, which is much higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, the school's performance varies greatly across different student subgroups, with Belmont Elementary ranking highly for African American and Hispanic students but very low for White students and students with special needs.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $15,948 in 2023-2024, which is higher than the district and state averages, this does not seem to be translating into improved academic outcomes. Belmont Elementary has seen a steady decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from a high of 153 out of 480 Nebraska elementary schools in 2015-2016 to a low of 271 out of 274 in 2024-2025, with a 0-star rating. The school's leadership and the Lincoln Public Schools district will need to carefully examine the root causes of these issues and implement targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.
