Summary

Plattsmouth Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 442 students in grades PK-4 in Plattsmouth, Nebraska, which is part of the Plattsmouth Community Schools district. The school has faced challenges in maintaining consistent academic performance, with fluctuations in its statewide ranking and rating over the past decade.

While Plattsmouth Elementary has seen mixed results for different student subgroups, with male students generally outperforming female students and low-income students performing relatively well, the school has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates. Its test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics have also been inconsistent, sometimes outperforming the state average but also falling behind at other times. When compared to nearby schools in the Bellevue Public Schools district, such as Fairview Elementary, Two Springs Elementary, and Peter Sarpy Elementary, Plattsmouth Elementary generally underperforms in terms of test scores, chronic absenteeism, and statewide rankings.

The school's relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 46-51% over the past few years, suggests it serves a population with greater economic challenges, which may contribute to some of the academic struggles. Additionally, Plattsmouth Elementary spends between $13,607 and $14,411 per student, which is on the lower end compared to the nearby Bellevue schools. To improve, the school could focus on enhancing attendance, supporting its female and special education student populations, and aligning its curriculum and instruction to better match the state standards, while also exploring opportunities for increased funding and collaboration with higher-performing nearby schools.
