This high-performing school consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Nebraska, with exceptional academic achievement across subjects and a low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Elmwood-Murdock Elementary School stands out for its consistently high academic performance, with students scoring significantly above the state average on NSCAS/English Language Arts and NSCAS/Mathematics assessments, and an impressive 100% proficiency rate on the 5th grade NSCAS/Science assessment. The school's 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and its low student-teacher ratio of 15:1 further highlight its educational excellence.
