Boone Central Schools

The Boone Central Schools district in Nebraska consists of 3 schools: 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school. The district's schools demonstrate a mix of academic performance, with the Boone Central Middle School standing out as the highest-performing school in the district.

Boone Central Middle School ranks 46th out of 200 Nebraska middle schools and earns a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school consistently achieves high test scores, with 65-74% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 66-90% proficient or better in Mathematics across grades 5-8. In contrast, Boone Central Elementary-Albion and Boone Central High School have more moderate academic performance, though they still outperform the state averages on standardized tests.

The district faces challenges with chronic absenteeism, with all three schools reporting a 21.1% rate in 2023-2024. Additionally, the high school has the highest spending per student and the lowest student-teacher ratio, which may contribute to its relatively lower performance compared to the middle school. The middle school also has the highest percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients, which could indicate a higher concentration of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
