Summary:
The city of Bloomfield, Nebraska is home to two schools - Bloomfield Junior-Senior High School and Bloomfield Elementary School, both part of the Bloomfield Community Schools district. These schools have demonstrated strong academic performance, with Bloomfield Junior-Senior High School consistently ranking among the top high schools in Nebraska and Bloomfield Elementary School also earning high rankings among the state's elementary schools.
Bloomfield Junior-Senior High School stands out for its impressive test scores, with 60-80% of students proficient or better in various subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. The school also boasts a high graduation rate of 88.1% and a lower chronic absenteeism rate of 21.1% compared to the state average. Bloomfield Elementary School has also shown strong performance, particularly in Mathematics, with 90-94% of students proficient or better in 3rd, 5th, and 6th grades, and 100% of 5th graders scoring proficient or better in Science.
While both schools have a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (around 45-50%), they have managed to maintain strong academic outcomes. The higher spending per student at the high school level compared to the elementary school may reflect the different educational needs and resource requirements at each level. However, the slightly elevated chronic absenteeism rates at both schools suggest an area for further investigation and targeted interventions to improve student attendance and ensure continued success.
