St Edward Public Schools

The St Edward Public Schools district in Nebraska consists of two schools: St Edward Elementary School and St Edward High School. The district serves a predominantly white student population, with a significant Hispanic minority, and a relatively high rate of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

While St Edward High School outperforms the state average on math and science assessments, St Edward Elementary School struggles with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics, lagging significantly behind the state averages. This suggests the district may need to focus on targeted interventions and resource allocation to address the performance gaps at the elementary level.

Interestingly, the district spends more per student at the high school level ($26,429) compared to the elementary school ($22,650), which may be a contributing factor to the stronger performance observed at the high school. Additionally, the high free/reduced lunch rates, especially at the elementary school, indicate the district serves a relatively economically disadvantaged community, which could also be a factor in the academic challenges faced by the elementary school.
