Best Public Schools in Hemingford, NE

Summary:

The city of Hemingford, Nebraska is home to two public schools - Hemingford Elementary School and Hemingford High School, both part of the Hemingford Public Schools district. While both schools perform well, the data analysis reveals that Hemingford High School stands out as the stronger performer of the two.

Hemingford High School has consistently ranked among the top 27-164 high schools in Nebraska over the past few years, earning 4 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger in the 2022-2023 school year. The school boasts impressive test scores, with 54.55% of 11th graders proficient or better in ACT English Language Arts, 45.45% in ACT Mathematics, and 40.91% in ACT Science - all significantly higher than the state averages. Additionally, Hemingford High School maintains an 88.1% four-year graduation rate, a strong indicator of student success.

In contrast, while Hemingford Elementary School is still performing well, it does not stand out as strongly as the high school. The elementary school has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, and its test scores, while above the state averages, are not as exceptional as the high school's. The district may want to explore ways to address the high chronic absenteeism rates at both schools, which exceed 21%, and ensure equitable access to resources across all schools.
