Summary

Schuyler Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 602 students in grades PK-5 in Schuyler, Nebraska. The school is part of the Schuyler Community Schools district and has received 1-2 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger in recent years, indicating below-average performance compared to other Nebraska elementary schools.

Schuyler Elementary faces significant challenges due to the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students it serves, with 51-74% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in recent years. This is significantly higher than the state average. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on state assessments, is consistently below the state and district averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. For example, in 2024-2025, only 49% of 3rd graders were proficient in ELA compared to the state average of 57%. Additionally, Schuyler Elementary has experienced high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 12-21% in recent years, well above the state average.

While Schuyler Elementary's overall performance is below average, the school performs relatively well for certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic and English Language Learner students, who rank in the top 10-20% of Nebraska elementary schools in those categories. Nearby schools like David City Elementary, Shell Creek Elementary, and North Bend Central Elementary have higher academic proficiency rates, lower chronic absenteeism, and serve more economically advantaged student populations. The district also operates two prekindergarten programs, North Ward Prekindergarten and Schuyler Headstart, which may provide important early learning opportunities for the district's students.
