Ainsworth Community Schools

Summary:

The Ainsworth Community Schools district in Nebraska consists of three schools: Ainsworth Elementary School, Ainsworth High School, and Ainsworth Middle School. The district's overall performance is mixed, with some standout schools and areas for improvement.

Ainsworth Middle School emerges as the highest-performing school in the district, ranking 85 out of 200 Nebraska middle schools and earning a 3-star rating. The school consistently outperforms the state average on NSCAS English Language Arts and Mathematics assessments, and it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.9. In contrast, Ainsworth Elementary School and Ainsworth High School have lower rankings and ratings, with the elementary school's 3rd and 4th-grade students performing below the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics.

Despite the challenges, Ainsworth High School stands out with an impressive 88.1% four-year graduation rate and its 11th-grade students performing better than the state average on ACT assessments in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. However, the district as a whole faces issues with chronic absenteeism, with all three schools reporting 21.1% chronic absenteeism rates. Additionally, the significant variation in free/reduced lunch rates across the schools suggests economic disparities that may impact student learning and achievement.
