Summary:
The Burwell Public Schools district in Nebraska consists of two schools: Burwell Elementary School and Burwell Junior-Senior High School. While the elementary school excels in certain academic areas, the high school faces challenges in standardized test performance, particularly in ACT subjects.
Burwell Elementary School stands out with relatively high proficiency rates in NSCAS/English Language Arts and NSCAS/Science for grade 5, as well as a lower student-teacher ratio and higher spending per student compared to the high school. In contrast, Burwell Junior-Senior High School struggles with significantly lower proficiency rates in ACT/English Language Arts, ACT/Mathematics, and ACT/Science for grade 11, despite stronger performance in NSCAS assessments for grades 7 and 8.
Both schools have a predominantly white student population, with minimal racial diversity. The high school also has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. These findings suggest areas for improvement, such as addressing the disparity in ACT performance, ensuring equitable resource distribution, and promoting inclusivity and representation within the district.
