Summary:
The 69334 zip code area is home to two schools - Bayard Elementary School and Bayard Secondary School, both part of the Bayard Public Schools district. While the elementary school serves grades PK-6, the secondary school covers grades 7-12, providing a clear division of educational offerings in the local community.
Bayard Secondary School stands out as the higher-performing school, with a statewide ranking of 102 out of 215 Nebraska high schools, compared to Bayard Elementary School's ranking of 365 out of 459 elementary schools. The secondary school has also shown improvement over the past few years, moving from a 1-star rating to a 3-star rating. Additionally, Bayard Secondary School outperforms the state average in ACT test scores for 11th-grade students in English Language Arts and Science, though it underperforms in Mathematics.
Both schools have a relatively high percentage of Hispanic students, with Bayard Elementary School at 16.2% and Bayard Secondary School at 22.15%. However, the schools' proficiency rates in NSCAS/ELA and Math are below the state averages, suggesting room for improvement in academic performance. The higher spending per student at the secondary school level ($25,844) compared to the elementary school ($19,617) may indicate a prioritization of resources, but the similar student-teacher ratios of around 11:1 at both schools suggest a consistent approach to staffing across the educational levels.
