Elm Creek Public Schools

The Elm Creek Public Schools district in Nebraska consists of two schools: Elm Creek Elementary School and Elm Creek High School. Based on the available data, Elm Creek Elementary School appears to be the standout school in the district, consistently ranking in the top half of Nebraska elementary schools and maintaining a higher statewide rating compared to the high school.

Elm Creek Elementary has significantly higher proficiency rates than the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across grades 3-6. In contrast, Elm Creek High School's ACT proficiency rates are more mixed, with 11th-grade students scoring above the state average in Science but below average in English and Math. Both schools have a 21.1% chronic absenteeism rate, which is an area of concern that the district should investigate and address.

While the spending per student is relatively high at both schools, the student-teacher ratios suggest the district is investing in smaller class sizes, which can be beneficial for student learning. Tracking the schools' performance trends over time, especially as the high school students progress from the strong elementary school foundation, could reveal important patterns and opportunities for improvement across the Elm Creek Public Schools district.
