Summary:

The city of Deshler, Nebraska is home to two schools: Deshler Elementary School and Deshler High School, both part of the Deshler Public Schools district. While Deshler High School has consistently ranked among the top schools in Nebraska, Deshler Elementary School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking in recent years.

Deshler High School stands out as a high-performing school, with impressive academic results, a strong 87.9% four-year graduation rate, and a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has outperformed the state averages in ACT Mathematics and Science proficiency. In contrast, Deshler Elementary School's academic performance in English Language Arts and Mathematics is slightly below the state averages, and its statewide ranking has dropped from 216th out of 457 Nebraska elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 302nd out of 428 in 2023-2024.

Both schools face similar challenges, with high free/reduced lunch rates (over 40%) and a consistent 19.3% chronic absenteeism rate. Despite the high per-student spending at both schools, these socioeconomic factors may be impacting student learning and achievement. Addressing attendance issues and analyzing the utilization of resources could be crucial in improving the overall performance of the schools in Deshler.
