Summary

Seymour Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Ralston, Nebraska, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 291 students. The school is part of the Ralston Public Schools district, which is ranked 92 out of 115 districts in Nebraska and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Seymour Elementary consistently outperforms the Ralston Public Schools district and the state of Nebraska in standardized test scores, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Seymour's 5th-grade students scored 73.17% proficient or better in NSCAS/English Language Arts, compared to 51.58% for the Ralston district and 55.79% for the state. However, the school has faced challenges with relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.4% to 27.1% in recent years, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, 53.61% of Seymour's students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year, indicating a significant population of low socioeconomic status students.

Despite these challenges, Seymour Elementary has shown strong performance for its low socioeconomic status students, ranking in the top 20% of Nebraska elementary schools in this category for the 2022-2023 school year. However, the school's performance for female and male students has been more mixed, with rankings in the middle to lower range of Nebraska elementary schools. The school should continue to investigate the root causes of chronic absenteeism and implement strategies to support all students, ensuring equitable opportunities and outcomes regardless of gender or socioeconomic status.
