Summary:
The city of Chappell, Nebraska is home to two schools: Creek Valley Elementary School and Creek Valley High School, both part of the Creek Valley Schools district. While the high school has a relatively strong statewide ranking and graduation rate, the elementary school's performance is more mixed, with some areas of improvement but also below-average test scores.
Creek Valley High School stands out with its high statewide ranking, reaching as high as 64th out of 209 Nebraska high schools in the 2020-2021 school year, and a 3-star rating. The school also boasts an impressive 88.1% four-year graduation rate for the 2023-2024 school year and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 5.3 to 1. In contrast, Creek Valley Elementary School has shown improvement in 3rd-grade English Language Arts proficiency, but its 4th-grade and 5th-grade mathematics proficiency rates remain below the state average.
The data also reveals significant differences in spending per student, with Creek Valley High School spending $38,340 per student, compared to $23,194 for Creek Valley Elementary School. This may suggest a focus on resources and support at the high school level. Additionally, both schools have a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.1%, which could be an area of concern and require further investigation.
