Summary:
The Dundy County Stratton Public Schools district in Nebraska consists of two schools: Benkelman Elementary School and Dundy County Stratton High School. Benkelman Elementary stands out as the stronger performer, with consistently higher test scores, particularly in mathematics, and a higher statewide ranking in the top 30% of Nebraska elementary schools. In contrast, the high school appears to be underperforming, with lower ACT test scores in English Language Arts and Science compared to state averages.
Both schools serve a student population with a majority white demographic and high rates of economic disadvantage, with over 53% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. However, the high school spends significantly more per student at $30,833, compared to $24,948 at the elementary school, suggesting a potential imbalance in resource allocation within the district.
Overall, the data provides a mixed picture of the Dundy County Stratton Public Schools district, with the elementary school demonstrating strong academic performance and the high school lagging behind state averages. Further investigation into the factors contributing to these differences could help the district identify opportunities for improvement and ensure equitable access to quality education for all students.
