Loomis Elementary School stands out as a high-performing institution, consistently outpacing the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across multiple grade levels.

Loomis Elementary School has been ranked among the top 70 elementary schools in Nebraska for the 2022-2023 school year, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Loomis Elementary School also maintains a lower student-teacher ratio of 13.6, compared to 9.3 at Loomis Secondary School.

While Loomis Secondary School has a higher spending per student ($19,734) compared to Loomis Elementary School ($17,368), this disparity in funding allocation may not be translating into improved academic outcomes. The data suggests a need to re-evaluate the distribution of resources to ensure that both levels of education are adequately supported and that all students in the Loomis school district have access to a consistently high-quality education.
