Centura Public Schools

The Centura Public Schools district in Nebraska consists of two schools: Centura Elementary School and Centura Secondary School. While the elementary school consistently ranks among the top 30% of Nebraska elementary schools, the secondary school has seen significant improvement in recent years, achieving a strong 4-star rating from SchoolDigger in the 2020-2021 school year.

Centura Elementary School stands out for its academic excellence, with students consistently outperforming the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across multiple grade levels. The school's 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and its ranking among the top 30% of Nebraska elementary schools indicate a strong focus on academic achievement and effective teaching practices.

While Centura Secondary School's performance on the ACT English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science tests is below the state average, the school's NSCAS English Language Arts and Mathematics scores for grades 7 and 8 are above the state average. This suggests that the school has made significant strides in improving academic outcomes, a positive sign for the district. Both schools face challenges related to their predominantly white student population and the relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which may require the district to address socioeconomic factors that can impact student learning and achievement.
