Hershey Public Schools

Summary:

The Hershey Public Schools district in Nebraska consists of two schools: Hershey Elementary School and Hershey High School. While the elementary school is a standout performer, the high school appears to be an area of concern for the district.

Hershey Elementary School consistently outperforms the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency rates across grades 3-6, and it has maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, ranking it among the top 25% of elementary schools in Nebraska. The school also has a higher percentage of Hispanic students (5.94%) compared to the state average, indicating a growing diversity in the community.

In contrast, Hershey High School appears to be a weaker performer, with proficiency rates in ACT English, Math, and Science below the state averages. The high school's ranking has also dropped from 82nd out of 202 Nebraska high schools in 2021-2022 to 124th out of 215 in 2022-2023, indicating a potential decline in performance. The district may need to focus on improving the quality of education at the secondary level to address these concerns.
