Papillion La Vista Community Schools

Summary:

The Papillion La Vista Community Schools district in Nebraska encompasses 22 schools, including 17 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 2 high schools, serving students from preschool through 12th grade. The district is known for its strong academic performance, with several standout schools that consistently rank among the top in the state.

Liberty Middle School is a standout performer, with 78-93% of students proficient in English Language Arts and Mathematics, significantly above the district and state averages. Prairie Queen Elementary and Portal Elementary School are also top-performing schools, with 72-85% and 77-83% of students proficient in core subjects, respectively. At the high school level, Papillion La Vista South High School and Papillion La Vista Senior High have 11th-grade proficiency rates of 50-60% in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, outperforming the state averages.

While the district as a whole performs well, there is significant variation in the academic achievement and rankings of individual schools. Schools with higher free and reduced lunch rates, such as Tara Heights Elementary and Trumble Park Elementary, tend to have lower test scores and rankings compared to schools with lower free and reduced lunch rates. Additionally, the district faces a challenge with high chronic absenteeism rates across all schools, which may be impacting overall student achievement.
