Arapahoe Public Schools

The Arapahoe Public Schools district in Nebraska serves students from two schools: Arapahoe Elementary School and Arapahoe High School. The data reveals a mix of strengths and areas for improvement across the district.

Arapahoe High School stands out for its strong academic performance, with higher proficiency rates on ACT and NSCAS tests compared to district and state averages in subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. In contrast, Arapahoe Elementary School excels in mathematics, with proficiency rates exceeding the district and state. However, both schools face challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates of 21.1%, which may impact overall student achievement.

Socioeconomic factors also play a role, as both schools have free and reduced lunch rates over 50%, indicating significant economic challenges for the student population. The district's spending per student also varies, with Arapahoe High School spending $19,095 per student compared to $17,464 per student at Arapahoe Elementary School. Overall, the data highlights the need for the Arapahoe Public Schools district to address chronic absenteeism and support students facing socioeconomic challenges, while building on the academic strengths demonstrated at both the elementary and high school levels.
