Best Public Schools in De Witt, NE

Summary:

The city of De Witt, Nebraska is home to two schools: Tri County Elementary School and Tri County Junior-Senior High School, both part of the Tri County Public Schools district. While the elementary school performs well on state assessments, the standout school in the area is the junior-senior high, which has consistently ranked among the top high schools in Nebraska and earned a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past two years.

Tri County Junior-Senior High School excels academically, with significantly higher ACT test scores than the state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. The school's students outperform their peers statewide on these key measures. In contrast, both the elementary and high school have higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rates, which could be an area of concern requiring further investigation and targeted interventions.

Socioeconomic factors also play a role, as both schools have relatively high free and reduced lunch rates, indicating a significant portion of the student population comes from low-income families. This may have implications for resource allocation and support services. Additionally, the high school spends significantly more per student than the elementary school, which could reflect differences in prioritization or resource distribution between the two school levels.
