Papillion La Vista Community Schools

The Papillion La Vista Community Schools district in Nebraska encompasses 21 schools, including 16 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 2 high schools. The district serves a diverse community and has a mix of high-performing and struggling schools, with socioeconomic factors appearing to play a significant role in student outcomes.

Among the standout schools in the district are Liberty Middle School, which consistently ranks among the top middle schools in Nebraska, and Prairie Queen Elementary, which is a top-performing elementary school. At the high school level, Papillion La Vista South High School is the district's top-performing high school, ranking in the top 25% of Nebraska high schools.

While the district and many of its schools perform well above the state average on standardized tests, there are also some schools, such as La Vista West Elementary and Golden Hills Elementary, that struggle significantly, with less than 50% of students proficient in English Language Arts and Mathematics. This suggests a need to address the performance gaps and funding disparities within the district to ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students.
