Gothenburg Public Schools

The Gothenburg Public Schools district in Nebraska consists of 3 schools: 2 elementary schools (Dudley Elementary School and Swede Preschool Academy) and 1 high school (Gothenburg Secondary School). The district serves a predominantly white student population, with some variation in racial composition across the schools.

Gothenburg Secondary School stands out as the highest-performing school in the district, with above-average test scores on ACT and NSCAS assessments and a relatively low free and reduced lunch rate of 31.36%. In contrast, Dudley Elementary School has lower test scores and a higher free and reduced lunch rate of 49.53%, suggesting potential challenges in serving a more economically disadvantaged student population. Swede Preschool Academy, the smallest school in the district, has the highest free and reduced lunch rate at 75%, indicating a high proportion of students from low-income families.

Across the district, spending per student and student-teacher ratios vary, with Gothenburg Secondary School having the highest spending per student at $16,680 and Dudley Elementary School having the lowest student-teacher ratio at 11.7. These differences in resources and student demographics suggest the need for targeted support and interventions to ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students in the Gothenburg Public Schools district.
