Summary:
The city of Wausa, Nebraska is home to two public schools serving students from elementary through high school: Wausa Elementary School and Wausa High School, which are part of the Wausa Public Schools district.
Based on the data analysis, Wausa Elementary School appears to be the standout performer in the district. The elementary school consistently ranks higher than the high school in statewide rankings, with significantly higher proficiency rates in 3rd grade English Language Arts (ELA). Additionally, Wausa Elementary has a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch and a lower student-teacher ratio, suggesting it may be providing a stronger educational experience for its students.
In contrast, Wausa High School students scored below the state average in ACT/ELA, ACT/Math, and ACT/Science, and the school has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The data indicates that the district may need to examine the factors contributing to the elementary school's success and explore ways to replicate those strategies at the high school level to ensure all students in Wausa are receiving a high-quality education.
