Summary:
The city of Broken Bow, Nebraska is home to three public schools serving grades K-12: North Park Elementary School, Broken Bow High School, and Broken Bow Middle School, all part of the Broken Bow Public Schools district.
Among the three schools, North Park Elementary stands out as the top performer, consistently ranking among the top 45 elementary schools in Nebraska and earning 4-5 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger. The school's test scores significantly exceed state averages, and it has a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate. In contrast, Broken Bow High School and Broken Bow Middle School appear to be performing more average or below average compared to state benchmarks, with lower statewide rankings and ratings.
The district as a whole has a relatively high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 37-49% across the schools. This suggests the district may need to consider additional supports and resources for economically disadvantaged students. Additionally, the consistent gap in performance between the elementary school and the secondary schools within the Broken Bow district presents an opportunity for the district to understand the root causes and develop strategies to address this disparity.
