Summary:
The city of Bloomfield, Nebraska is home to two schools - Bloomfield Junior-Senior High School and Bloomfield Elementary School, both part of the Bloomfield Community Schools district. The data reveals a stark contrast in performance between the two schools, with the junior-senior high school consistently ranking among the top schools in the state while the elementary school has more average rankings.
Bloomfield Junior-Senior High School stands out as the district's high-performing institution, ranking 29th out of 168 Nebraska high schools for the 2023-2024 school year and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts consistently high performance on state assessments, with 60-80% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, Math, and Science. Additionally, the school has an impressive 87.9% four-year graduation rate, significantly higher than the state average, and a lower chronic absenteeism rate of 19.3%.
In contrast, Bloomfield Elementary School has a more mixed performance, with a 2023-2024 ranking of 236 out of 428 elementary schools, which is more average. While the school's test scores are still above the state average in some areas, they are not as strong as the high school's. The district's higher spending per student at the high school level, $27,514 compared to $21,483 at the elementary school, may be a contributing factor to the difference in performance.
