Newman Grove Public Schools

The Newman Grove Public Schools district in Nebraska consists of two schools: Newman Grove Elementary School and Newman Grove High School. The elementary school is a standout performer, consistently ranking among the top 10-26 elementary schools in the state and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, the high school has room for improvement, with lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts compared to the elementary school.

The school's student population is predominantly white, with a notable Hispanic minority. In comparison, the high school has a more diverse student body, with 4.29% African American and 8.57% Hispanic students. However, the high school's 11th-grade ACT ELA proficiency rate of 53.85% is still higher than the state average of 33.35%.

Both schools have relatively low student-teacher ratios, with 12.3 at the elementary school and 8.1 at the high school, suggesting a focus on personalized attention. The high school spends significantly more per student than the elementary school, which may be due to the additional resources and programs required for secondary education. Overall, the Newman Grove Public Schools district appears to be providing a strong educational foundation, with the elementary school leading the way and the high school showing potential for improvement.
