Public Grades PK, KG-5

Summary

Elementary School At Wilber is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Wilber, Nebraska, part of the Wilber-Clatonia Public Schools district. With 294 students and a student-teacher ratio of 13.6, the school has faced several challenges in recent years, including underperformance on standardized tests and high chronic absenteeism rates.

Compared to the state averages, Elementary School At Wilber consistently lags behind in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across grades 3-5. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 3rd grade ELA proficiency was 38.46% compared to the state average of 58.91%, and its 5th grade Math proficiency was 65.31% compared to the state's 61.1%. However, the school's 5th grade Science proficiency of 84% exceeds the state average of 82.59%. Additionally, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 9.4% in 2020-2021 to 21.1% in 2023-2024, notably higher than the state average.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Norris Intermediate School and Tri County Elementary School, Elementary School At Wilber significantly underperforms in terms of test scores and statewide rankings. These nearby schools also have lower chronic absenteeism rates and a smaller proportion of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. While the school's performance for low socioeconomic status students is relatively stronger, the overall trend suggests a need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes and close the achievement gap.
