Best Public Schools in Loup City, NE


Summary:

The city of Loup City, Nebraska is home to two public schools - Loup City Elementary School and Loup City High School, both part of the Loup City Public Schools district. While the elementary school shows some academic strengths, the high school appears to be struggling, particularly in comparison to state averages.

Loup City Elementary School stands out for its relatively high performance in English Language Arts, with 35-70% of students proficient or better across grades 3-6, exceeding the state average of 55-63%. However, the high school lags behind, with 11th grade students underperforming the state average in ELA, Math, and Science. Additionally, 7th and 8th grade ELA and Math scores at the high school are below the state average.

Both schools serve a student population that is predominantly white and faces significant economic challenges, with nearly half to over half of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests the Loup City community may face broader socioeconomic factors that impact student performance. While the elementary school spends around $19,600 per student, the high school spends nearly $28,300 per student, a notable difference that warrants further investigation to understand the reasons behind this disparity.
