Best Public Schools in Bartley, NE

Summary:

The city of Bartley, Nebraska has a single public school, Southwest Junior/Senior High School, which serves grades 7-12. This small school of 115 students stands out for its high performance in English Language Arts on the ACT exam, significantly outpacing the statewide average. However, the school struggles with lower-than-average mathematics proficiency on the same test.

Southwest Junior/Senior High School spends a substantial $33,096 per student, which is well above the state average. This high level of funding may contribute to the school's academic strengths, particularly in English, as well as its small class sizes with a student-teacher ratio of just 6.4 to 1. The school's student body is predominantly white, with over 55% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic need in the community.

While Southwest Junior/Senior High School has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking on SchoolDigger over the past few years, it currently holds a 3-star rating, placing it in the middle of the pack among Nebraska schools. With its unique combination of high English performance, low math scores, and significant per-student spending, this small-town school provides a nuanced educational experience for the students of Bartley.
