North Platte Public Schools

Summary:

The North Platte Public Schools district in Nebraska consists of 10 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. The district as a whole is ranked 138 out of 182 in Nebraska and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Within the district, a few schools stand out as performing better than the others. McDonald Elementary School consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state, currently ranked 34th out of 428 Nebraska elementary schools and rated 5 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. Its test scores are significantly higher than the district and state averages, with over 70% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics. Another high-performing elementary school is Lake Maloney Elementary School, ranked 111th out of 428 in the state and rated 4 out of 5 stars, with over 65% proficiency in English Language Arts and Mathematics.

However, the data also reveals significant performance gaps between the highest and lowest-performing schools in the district, particularly in test scores. This suggests that some schools may be struggling to provide equitable educational opportunities for all students. Additionally, the district as a whole faces challenges, such as a consistently high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.1% across all schools and disparities in spending per student, ranging from $12,570 at McDonald Elementary to $17,035 at Madison Middle School.
