Neligh-Oakdale Schools

The Neligh-Oakdale Schools district in Nebraska consists of three schools: Neligh-Oakdale High School, Westward Elementary School, and Eastward Elementary School. The district serves a predominantly white student population, with Hispanic students being the largest minority group. While the high school and Westward Elementary underperform the state average on standardized tests, Eastward Elementary stands out as the highest-performing school in the district, with strong test scores and a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The schools in the Neligh-Oakdale Schools district have a relatively high percentage of students from low-income families, with over 50% of students at Eastward Elementary qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests that the district may need to explore strategies to better support and engage with these students. Additionally, the high spending per student, especially at the high school and Westward Elementary levels, may warrant further investigation to ensure that these funds are being utilized effectively.

Overall, the Neligh-Oakdale Schools district presents a mixed picture, with Eastward Elementary standing out as a high-performing school, while the high school and Westward Elementary struggle to meet state averages. The district's demographic and socioeconomic factors, as well as its resource allocation, will be important considerations for future strategic planning and improvement efforts.
