Falls City Public Schools

The Falls City Public Schools district in Nebraska consists of four schools: two elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school. While the district as a whole is ranked relatively low, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, there are some standout schools within the system.

Falls City Senior High is the highest-ranked school in the district, coming in at 139 out of 215 Nebraska high schools. It outperforms the district and state averages in 11th-grade ACT English Language Arts proficiency and maintains a low student-to-teacher ratio of 11. Falls City Middle School is also a standout, ranking 148 out of 238 Nebraska middle schools and outperforming the district and state in 6th, 7th, and 8th-grade NSCAS English Language Arts proficiency.

The Falls City Public Schools district faces some socioeconomic challenges, with high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients across the schools. This may contribute to the district's overall low performance, though individual schools like Falls City Senior High and Falls City Middle School are able to achieve better academic outcomes. The district and its schools have opportunities for improvement, particularly in addressing lower performance in ACT Mathematics and Science at the high school level and NSCAS English Language Arts at the elementary and middle school levels.
