Summary:
The city of Atkinson, Nebraska, is home to two schools - West Holt High School and Atkinson Elementary School, both part of the West Holt Public Schools district. The data analysis reveals that these schools are performing well academically, with West Holt High School standing out as a particularly strong performer.
West Holt High School has consistently ranked in the top half of Nebraska high schools, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's students have demonstrated strong academic performance, scoring well above the state average in ACT English, Math, and Science, as well as in 8th-grade NSCAS tests. Additionally, the school boasts a high graduation rate of 88.1% for the 2023-2024 school year. In contrast, Atkinson Elementary School, while still performing well, has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, an area that the district may want to investigate further.
Both schools have similar spending per student and student-teacher ratios, indicating a commitment to equitable resource allocation within the district. However, the relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.1% at both schools is an area that the district may want to address, as it could have a significant impact on student learning and overall school performance.
