Winside Public Schools

The Winside Public Schools district in Nebraska consists of two schools: Winside Elementary School serving grades PK-6 and Winside High School serving grades 7-12. While the district as a whole is ranked 111th out of 182 districts in Nebraska, the high school stands out as a strong performer, ranking 51st out of 215 Nebraska high schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

At the elementary school level, Winside Elementary School has shown impressive academic performance, with 3rd and 4th grade students scoring significantly above the state average in English Language Arts on the NSCAS assessments. In contrast, the high school's 8th grade students scored slightly below the state average in Science, but their 11th grade students outperformed the state average in ACT Mathematics.

While both schools have high chronic absenteeism rates of 21.1%, the per-student spending difference between the elementary school ($19,307) and the high school ($25,204) is noteworthy and may indicate different resource allocation priorities or cost structures between the two school levels. Overall, the Winside Public Schools district appears to have a strong high school, but the elementary school's performance is more mixed, with standout ELA scores but lower overall district rankings.
