Mc Cook Public Schools

Summary:

The Mc Cook Public Schools district in Nebraska consists of 4 schools: 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district's schools have demonstrated strong academic performance, with several standout institutions that consistently rank among the top schools in the state.

Mc Cook Junior High School and Central Elementary School have both earned 4-star ratings from SchoolDigger, placing them in the top 25% of Nebraska schools in their respective categories. These schools have impressive test scores, exceeding state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. In contrast, Mc Cook Senior High School students outperform the state average on the ACT by 10-15 percentage points.

While the Mc Cook Public Schools district appears to be allocating resources effectively, with higher-than-average spending per student and low student-teacher ratios, the district faces challenges in addressing high chronic absenteeism rates across all schools. Additionally, the relatively high free/reduced lunch rates, particularly at Mc Cook Elementary School, suggest a significant population of economically disadvantaged students who may require targeted support and resources.
