Summary:
The city of Ashland, Nebraska is home to 4 schools serving students from elementary through high school, all part of the Ashland-Greenwood Public Schools district. The standout schools in the district are Ashland-Greenwood Intermediate School and Ashland-Greenwood Middle School, which consistently rank among the top 25% of Nebraska schools in their respective categories and outperform state averages on standardized tests.
Ashland-Greenwood Intermediate School, an elementary school, boasts impressive test scores, with 75% or more of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics, and a 5th-grade science proficiency rate of 90% - significantly higher than the state average. Similarly, Ashland-Greenwood Middle School ranks among the top 25% of Nebraska middle schools, with English Language Arts proficiency rates consistently above 70% across grades 6-8, and an 8th-grade science proficiency rate of 90.28% - well above the state average.
While the district's schools generally perform well, there are some areas of concern, such as the relatively high chronic absenteeism rates across all schools, ranging from 19.3% - higher than the state's target of 10%. Additionally, the schools have free and reduced lunch rates between 21.25% and 26.86%, indicating a relatively low-income student population. The district, however, appears to be addressing these challenges, as evidenced by its higher-than-average spending per student and lower student-teacher ratios compared to the state average.
