Summary:
The city of Neligh, Nebraska is home to three schools: two elementary schools, Westward Elementary and Eastward Elementary, as well as one high school, Neligh-Oakdale High School. These schools serve the Neligh community and provide a range of educational opportunities for students.
Among the standout schools, Eastward Elementary emerges as a strong performer, ranking 206 out of 428 Nebraska elementary schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school excels in NSCAS English Language Arts and Mathematics tests, with several grade levels exceeding the state average proficiency rates, particularly in 5th grade Mathematics. In contrast, Neligh-Oakdale High School ranks 174 out of 215 Nebraska high schools and has a 1-star rating, but has maintained a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 88.1% and shown improvement in NSCAS scores for 7th and 8th grades.
Across the district, the schools face some common challenges, such as a higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate of 21.1% and socioeconomic factors reflected in the high free and reduced lunch rates. However, the district's commitment to addressing these issues and the individual schools' strengths suggest opportunities for continued growth and improvement in the Neligh educational system. The Neligh-Oakdale Schools district serves as a focal point for the community's efforts to provide quality education for all students.
