Summary:
The city of Cedar Bluffs, Nebraska is home to two schools - Cedar Bluffs Elementary School and Cedar Bluffs High School, both part of the Cedar Bluffs Public Schools district. The data shows that while the elementary school has seen some fluctuations in its statewide ranking, the high school has consistently improved, moving from a 0-star rating in 2021-2022 to a 3-star rating in 2023-2024, suggesting it is performing better relative to other high schools in the state.
Both schools have shown strong academic performance, with Cedar Bluffs Elementary outperforming state averages in NSCAS English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science assessments, and Cedar Bluffs High School exceeding state averages in ACT English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency rates. The high school also boasts a 4-year graduation rate of 88.1%, a positive indicator of student success. However, both schools have a higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate of 21.1%, which may be an area of concern.
Financially, the schools appear to be well-resourced, with Cedar Bluffs High School spending $18,983 per student and Cedar Bluffs Elementary spending $17,776 per student, both higher than the state average. The student-teacher ratios are also relatively low, at 13.9 for the elementary school and 11.2 for the high school. While the schools serve a population with a significant percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, around 44%, the data suggests the district is making strides to provide equitable educational opportunities for its students.
