Summary:
The Stapleton Public Schools district in Nebraska consists of two schools: Stapleton High School and Stapleton Elementary School. These small, predominantly white schools serve a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with higher-than-average free and reduced-price lunch rates.
Academically, Stapleton High School stands out, with its 11th-grade students performing significantly better than the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. In contrast, Stapleton Elementary School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, despite its strong 4th-grade Mathematics proficiency rate. The high school's performance, however, has been inconsistent, with its statewide ranking fluctuating in recent years.
Despite the relatively high per-student spending at both schools, the academic outcomes are mixed, raising questions about the efficiency and effectiveness of the district's resource allocation. Additionally, the demographic makeup of the schools suggests the need to address issues of equity and support for economically disadvantaged and minority students. Overall, the Stapleton Public Schools district appears to have some academic strengths, but also faces challenges in maintaining consistent and equitable outcomes across its schools.
