Best Public Schools in Stanton, NE

Summary:

The city of Stanton, Nebraska is home to two schools - Stanton Elementary School and Stanton High School, which are part of the Stanton Community Schools district. While Stanton Elementary School is a standout performer, ranking in the top half of Nebraska elementary schools, Stanton High School has consistently underperformed, ranking in the bottom half of Nebraska high schools.

Stanton Elementary School's strong academic performance is evident in its above-average test scores, particularly in English Language Arts, and its relatively low chronic absenteeism rate. In contrast, Stanton High School struggles academically, with ACT scores in English, Math, and Science significantly below the Nebraska state averages. Both schools, however, have a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which may contribute to the challenges they face.

The stark contrast in performance between the elementary and high school raises questions about resource allocation and the effectiveness of the district's efforts to support student success. Addressing the issues at the high school level, while building upon the strengths of the elementary school, could be key focus areas for the Stanton Community Schools district to improve overall student outcomes and provide a better educational experience for all its students.
