Best Public Schools in Kimball, NE

Summary:

The city of Kimball, Nebraska is home to two schools: Mary Lynch Elementary and Kimball Junior/Senior High School. While both schools serve the Kimball community, they have seen varying levels of performance and rankings in recent years.

Mary Lynch Elementary has experienced a significant decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 180 out of 457 in 2021-2022 to 366 out of 442 in 2020-2021. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students (52.86%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a more economically disadvantaged student population. In contrast, Kimball Junior/Senior High School has a lower percentage of students (44.91%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, both schools have areas for improvement. Mary Lynch Elementary generally performs below the state average in NSCAS/English Language Arts and NSCAS/Mathematics, while Kimball Junior/Senior High School underperforms the state average in ACT/English Language Arts, ACT/Mathematics, and ACT/Science for grade 11. The significant difference in spending per student between the two schools ($18,187 for Mary Lynch Elementary vs. $25,097 for Kimball Junior/Senior High School) also raises questions about the equity and efficiency of resource allocation within the Kimball Public Schools district.
