Loomis Public Schools

The Loomis Public Schools district in Nebraska consists of two schools: Loomis Elementary School and Loomis Secondary School. Both schools demonstrate strong academic performance, with students consistently outperforming state averages on standardized assessments.

Loomis Elementary School stands out as a high-performing institution, ranking 70th out of 459 Nebraska elementary schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts consistently high NSCAS English Language Arts and Mathematics scores, often exceeding state averages. In contrast, while Loomis Secondary School also performs well on NSCAS assessments, its statewide ranking has declined from 59th out of 209 Nebraska high schools in 2020-2021 to 160th out of 215 in 2022-2023, suggesting a need for improvement at the secondary level.

The data also reveals differences in resource allocation between the two schools. Loomis Secondary School has a higher spending per student and a lower student-teacher ratio compared to Loomis Elementary School, indicating a focus on supporting the secondary level. However, the secondary school also faces a concerning 21.1% chronic absenteeism rate, which may require further investigation and targeted interventions to improve student engagement and attendance.
