Best Public Schools in Diller, NE

Summary:

The city of Diller, Nebraska is home to a single elementary school, the Diller-Odell Elementary School, which serves students from preschool through 6th grade. While the school appears to be well-funded, with a low student-teacher ratio and high per-student spending, its academic performance has seen a concerning decline in recent years, dropping from a statewide ranking of 154th out of 457 Nebraska elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 259th out of 428 in 2023-2024.

The school's performance on standardized tests has been mixed, with some grade levels and subject areas exceeding the state average, while others fall below. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 4th-grade English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rate of 65% was higher than the state average of 58.98%, but its 5th-grade ELA and 4th-grade Math proficiency rates were lower than the state averages. This suggests the need for a closer examination of the school's curriculum, teaching methods, and targeted interventions to address areas of weakness.

Despite the school's declining statewide ranking and mixed academic performance, it serves a relatively higher-income student population, as evidenced by its low free and reduced-price lunch rate of 27.01% in 2022-2023, which is lower than the state average. This demographic factor, combined with the school's well-funded educational program, suggests that there may be opportunities to further improve student outcomes through strategic investments and targeted initiatives.
