Ord Public Schools

The Ord Public Schools district in Nebraska consists of two schools: Ord Elementary School and Ord Junior-Senior High School, serving a total of 562 students. While Ord Elementary School excels in mathematics and science, Ord Junior-Senior High School struggles with lower-than-average proficiency rates in college-readiness assessments.

Ord Elementary School stands out for its relatively high proficiency rates in NSCAS/Mathematics for grades 5 (85%) and 4 (59%), as well as strong performance in NSCAS/Science for grade 5 (83% proficiency). In contrast, Ord Junior-Senior High School faces significant challenges, with proficiency rates in ACT/English Language Arts (15.56%), ACT/Mathematics (22.22%), and ACT/Science (13.33%) for grade 11 falling well below the state averages.

The Ord Public Schools district also faces a lack of racial diversity, with both schools having predominantly white student populations. While the district's spending per student and student-teacher ratios are similar across the two schools, the performance gaps suggest the need to examine other factors, such as curriculum, instructional practices, and student support systems, to address the challenges faced by Ord Junior-Senior High School.
