Best Public Schools in Hooper, NE

The city of Hooper, Nebraska is home to two schools: Logan View Elementary and Logan View Junior/Senior High School, both part of the Logan View Public Schools district. While Logan View Elementary has consistently ranked in the top 25% of Nebraska elementary schools with a 4-star rating, the junior/senior high school has lagged behind, ranking in the bottom 25-35% of Nebraska high schools with only a 1-2 star rating.

Logan View Elementary stands out as the stronger performing school, with significantly above-average test scores in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 19.3%, and spending $16,683 per student. In contrast, the junior/senior high school has weaker performance, with lower statewide rankings and test scores. However, the high school spends more per student at $19,282, raising questions about the efficient allocation of resources.

Both schools have relatively high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, indicating a lower socioeconomic student population in the Hooper area. This could be a factor in the schools' performance, though further analysis would be needed to understand the underlying causes of the stark difference in academic achievement between the elementary and high school levels.
