Best Public Schools in Bruning, NE

Summary:

The city of Bruning, Nebraska is home to two schools: Bruning-Davenport High School and Bruning-Davenport Elementary/Bruning, which are part of the Bruning-Davenport Unified Sys district. The high school stands out as a top performer, ranking 2nd out of 215 Nebraska high schools and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger in the 2022-2023 school year, a significant improvement from the previous year.

Bruning-Davenport High School's students outperform the state average in both ACT Mathematics and ACT Science, with 60% and 50% proficiency, respectively. The school also has a relatively high free and reduced lunch rate of 35.29%, indicating a significant portion of the student population comes from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. However, the school's high spending per student, at $33,900, and low student-teacher ratio of 5.2 suggest a strong commitment to providing a quality education.

While the high school is a standout performer, the data does not provide information about the elementary school's state ranking or performance metrics. This could be an area for the district to investigate and potentially focus on improving, to ensure a strong foundation for students as they progress through the education system. Additionally, the schools' predominantly white student population, with little racial diversity, may be an area for the district to consider addressing.
