Summary:
The city of Tekamah, Nebraska is home to two schools: Elementary School At Tekamah and High School At Tekamah, both part of the Tekamah-Herman Community Schools district. While the schools share a location, they exhibit some notable differences in their student populations and academic performance.
Elementary School At Tekamah has a significantly higher percentage of white students (96.63%) compared to the state average, suggesting a lack of racial diversity. In contrast, High School At Tekamah has a more diverse student body, with 6.52% non-white students.

The elementary school's proficiency rates range from 38% to 85%, while the high school's ACT proficiency rates range from just 12.49% to 25%.
Despite the high school spending significantly more per student ($25,062) than the elementary school ($15,708), this additional funding does not appear to translate into higher academic achievement. Both schools have student-teacher ratios that are better than the state average, with the high school boasting an impressive 8.7:1 ratio. Overall, the Tekamah-Herman Community Schools district is ranked 154 out of 212 in Nebraska and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating room for improvement in the quality of education provided to students in the area.
