Best Public Schools in Bladen, NE

Summary:

The school is part of the Silver Lake Public Schools district, which is ranked 101 out of 182 districts in Nebraska and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Silver Lake Elementary School-Bladen has demonstrated consistently strong academic performance, with its students outperforming the state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics for the 2023-2024 school year. The school's 3rd-grade test scores in these subjects have also improved from the previous year, while the state-level scores have declined. Additionally, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8.6 to 1, which may contribute to its academic success.

However, the school faces some challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.1% and the district's relatively low ranking and rating. The school's spending of $29,649 per student is significantly higher than the national average, which could be a reflection of the district's investment in resources and support for the school. Overall, Silver Lake Elementary School-Bladen appears to be a strong-performing school within its district, but the broader educational system in the area may have room for improvement.
