Best Public Schools in Rushville, NE

Summary:

The city of Rushville, Nebraska is home to two schools: Gordon-Rushville Ele-Rushville, an elementary school, and Gordon-Rushville Middle School. While the elementary school is a relatively strong performer, the middle school has struggled, ranking in the bottom quarter of Nebraska middle schools.

The Gordon-Rushville Ele-Rushville elementary school has consistently ranked in the top half of Nebraska elementary schools, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its 4th-grade English Language Arts proficiency rate of 73% is significantly higher than the state average, and its 3rd-grade math proficiency rate of 41% is on par with the state. In contrast, Gordon-Rushville Middle School has only received a 1-star rating and its English Language Arts proficiency rates for 6th, 7th, and 8th grades are all below the state averages.

Both schools in Rushville face challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates that are significantly above the state average. Additionally, the schools have relatively high spending per student, yet the middle school's performance lags behind. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism and examining the district's resource allocation and spending priorities could be important next steps for the Gordon-Rushville Public Schools district.
