Summary:
The Rock County Public Schools district in Nebraska has one elementary school, Bassett Grade School, which serves grades PK-6 and has a total enrollment of 141 students. This school stands out as a strong performer within the district, consistently ranking in the top third of Nebraska elementary schools over the past three years.
Bassett Grade School boasts impressive academic achievements, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics that exceed the district and state averages, particularly in 6th grade where the math proficiency rate is 82% compared to 57% statewide. The school's relatively low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 34.04%, suggests a relatively affluent student population. Additionally, Bassett Grade School benefits from significant resource allocation, with a student-teacher ratio of 10.6 and per-student spending of $21,250, well above the state average.
While Bassett Grade School's academic success is commendable, the school's demographic homogeneity, with 96.45% of students identifying as White, raises questions about equity and access to high-quality education for all students in the district. Further investigation is needed to understand the factors contributing to this lack of diversity and to ensure that the district's educational resources are distributed equitably across all schools and student populations.
