Aurora Public Schools

The Aurora Public Schools district in Nebraska consists of 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving students from preschool through 12th grade. The data reveals a district with strong academic performance, particularly at the elementary and middle school levels, but also some areas for potential improvement, especially at the high school.

Aurora Elementary School and Aurora Middle School stand out as the top performers, consistently ranking in the top 25-30% of Nebraska schools in their respective categories. Both schools excel in core subject areas, with over 70% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, significantly outpacing state and district averages.

In contrast, Aurora High School has more mixed results, with ACT scores below the state average in some subject areas. This suggests an opportunity for the district to focus on improving academic outcomes at the high school level. Additionally, the district faces consistent socioeconomic challenges, with all schools having similar high rates of free and reduced lunch eligibility, which could impact student learning and achievement across the board.
