The city of Bruning, Nebraska is home to two schools: Bruning-Davenport High School and Bruning-Davenport Elementary/Bruning. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade and are part of the Bruning-Davenport Unified Sys district.

Bruning-Davenport High School stands out as a top-performing school, ranking 16th out of 168 Nebraska high schools for the 2023-2024 school year and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's 11th-grade students achieved impressive proficiency rates in ACT/English Language Arts (72.22%), ACT/Mathematics (83.33%), and ACT/Science (66.67%), significantly outpacing state averages. Additionally, the high school maintains a strong 88.1% four-year graduation rate and spends $33,900 per student, indicating a high level of investment in its students. In contrast, while Bruning-Davenport Elementary/Bruning does not have the same level of standout performance data, it still appears to be a well-funded school, with a per-student spending of $33,290 and a student-teacher ratio of 9.7.

Both schools in Bruning demonstrate a commitment to providing equitable resources and opportunities for their students. The similar per-student spending and low student-teacher ratios at both the high school and elementary school levels suggest a focus on personalized attention and support. Additionally, the relatively high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at both schools (35.29% at the high school and 32.56% at the elementary school) indicate a diverse student population with varying socioeconomic backgrounds, which may present both challenges and opportunities for the schools in addressing the unique needs of their students.
