Humphrey Public Schools

The Humphrey Public Schools district in Nebraska consists of three schools: Humphrey Elementary School, Humphrey Junior-Senior High School, and Lindsay Attendance Center. The district serves students from elementary through high school grades and is located in a predominantly white, economically diverse area.

Humphrey Elementary School stands out for its strong academic performance, with significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the state average. In contrast, Humphrey Junior-Senior High School has seen a concerning decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 48th out of 209 schools in 2020-2021 to 165th out of 215 schools in 2022-2023. The small Lindsay Attendance Center has a high percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients, indicating a more economically disadvantaged student population, but still maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio.

A notable finding across the Humphrey Public Schools district is the lack of diversity in the student populations, with over 98% of students being white at both Humphrey Elementary School and Humphrey Junior-Senior High School. This lack of diversity may warrant further investigation into the factors contributing to this homogeneity and its potential impact on the educational experience.
