Sutherland Public Schools

The Sutherland Public Schools district in Nebraska consists of two schools: Sutherland High School and Sutherland Elementary School. While the elementary school outperforms the state average in English language arts and mathematics, the high school lags behind in these areas. However, the high school has a higher four-year graduation rate than the state average.

Sutherland High School is ranked 122 out of 168 Nebraska high schools, which is relatively low. The school performs better than the state average on science proficiency but falls behind in English language arts proficiency. In contrast, Sutherland Elementary School is ranked 225 out of 428 Nebraska elementary schools, placing it in the middle range. The elementary school outperforms the state average in English language arts and mathematics for grades 5 and 6.

Both schools face challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, which are significantly higher than the state average. The per-student spending and student-teacher ratios are relatively similar between the high school and elementary school, suggesting a relatively equitable distribution of resources within the district. However, the higher percentage of free or reduced-price lunch recipients at the elementary school may indicate a need to allocate additional resources to support the needs of these students.
