Summary:
The city of Hebron, Nebraska is home to two schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Thayer Central Elementary and Thayer Central High School, which are part of the Thayer Central Community Schools district.
Of the two schools, Thayer Central Elementary stands out as a high-performing institution, consistently ranking among the top 87 elementary schools in Nebraska with a 4-star rating. The school's students significantly outperform the state averages in ELA, Math, and Science proficiency, with 86% proficiency in 3rd grade ELA compared to the 63% state average, and 93% proficiency in 3rd grade Math compared to the 58% state average. Additionally, Thayer Central Elementary has a relatively low free/reduced lunch rate of 36%, suggesting a more affluent student population, and spends $18,264 per student, which is higher than the state average.
In contrast, while Thayer Central High School performs above the state average in many areas, it has a 3-star rating and has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, indicating room for improvement. Both schools have a predominantly white student population, with over 95% of students identifying as white, and relatively low student-teacher ratios, which may contribute to their academic performance.
