The East Butler Public Schools district in Nebraska consists of three schools: two elementary schools (Elementary School At Brainard and Elementary School At Dwight) and one high school (High School At Brainard). The district is ranked 64th out of 182 districts in Nebraska and is rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

The standout school in the district is the High School At Brainard, which is ranked 38th out of 215 Nebraska high schools and earned a 4-star rating. The high school outperformed the state average in math proficiency for 11th graders and maintained a strong 88.1% four-year graduation rate. In contrast, the two elementary schools have seen more fluctuation in their statewide rankings, with Elementary School At Brainard dropping from a 3-star to a 2-star rating before rebounding to a 4-star rating.

The district's per-student spending is relatively consistent across the three schools, ranging from $26,814 to $27,586 in the 2022-2023 school year. However, the smaller Elementary School At Dwight has a lower per-student spending of $26,848 compared to the larger Elementary School At Brainard. Both the high school and the larger elementary school have relatively high chronic absenteeism rates of 21.1%, which is an area for potential improvement.
