The city of Alliance, Nebraska is home to 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade and are part of the Alliance Public Schools district.
Among the schools in Alliance, Grandview Elementary School stands out with the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science compared to the other schools and the district/state averages.

Additionally, Alliance Middle School has higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts compared to the district and state averages, particularly in 6th and 8th grade.
However, the schools in Alliance generally perform below the state averages in proficiency rates for ELA, Math, and Science. The district as a whole is ranked 104 out of 115 districts in Nebraska and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, suggesting that the district is struggling to provide high-quality education to its students. The schools in Alliance serve a high percentage of students from low-income families, with free and reduced lunch rates ranging from 48.91% to 69.84%, which may be contributing to the overall underperformance. Identifying and replicating the successful practices at Grandview Elementary could be a valuable strategy for improving outcomes across the district.
