Best Public Schools in Wilber, NE

Summary:

The city of Wilber, Nebraska is home to 3 schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Elementary School At Wilber, Wilber-Clatonia High School, and Wilber-Clatonia Middle School. These schools are part of the Wilber-Clatonia Public Schools district, which is ranked 142nd out of 182 districts in Nebraska and rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Among the 3 schools, Wilber-Clatonia High School stands out as the strongest performer, ranking 74th out of 168 Nebraska high schools and boasting an 88.1% four-year graduation rate, which is above the state average. The high school also outperforms the state average on ACT test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. In contrast, Elementary School At Wilber and Wilber-Clatonia Middle School generally underperform the state averages on NSCAS tests, particularly in mathematics.

A concerning trend across all 3 schools is the high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 21.1% to 21.1%, significantly above the state average. Additionally, the schools have free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 29.41% to 35.66%, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student populations. Addressing these challenges, such as improving attendance and supporting economically disadvantaged students, could be key focus areas for the Wilber-Clatonia Public Schools district to enhance the overall performance of its schools.
