The city of Doniphan, Nebraska is home to two schools: Doniphan-Trumbull Elementary and Doniphan-Trumbull Secondary, both part of the Doniphan-Trumbull Public Schools district. While the elementary school maintains a consistent 3-star rating, the secondary school stands out as a high performer, ranking 20th out of 168 Nebraska high schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Doniphan-Trumbull Secondary's exceptional performance is evident across multiple metrics. The school boasts impressive test scores, with 60.61% of 11th graders proficient or better in ACT English Language Arts, 75.76% proficient or better in ACT Mathematics, and 78.79% proficient or better in ACT Science, significantly outperforming state averages.

In contrast, Doniphan-Trumbull Elementary has a more average performance, with a statewide ranking between 165-243 out of 428-459 Nebraska elementary schools over the past 3 years.

Both schools share a concerning issue of high chronic absenteeism rates, with 21.1% of students chronically absent at each school, significantly higher than the state average. This could be an area of focus for the district to investigate and address. Additionally, the similar spending per student between the elementary and secondary schools suggests a fair allocation of resources, though the higher student-teacher ratio at the elementary school may indicate a need to adjust resource distribution to provide more individualized attention.
