Summary:
The city of Yutan, Nebraska is home to two public schools: Yutan Elementary School and Yutan High School, both part of the Yutan Public Schools district. The data shows that Yutan Elementary is a standout performer, consistently ranking among the top elementary schools in Nebraska and achieving very high test scores, while Yutan High School has a more mixed performance, with scores above the state average but not as dominant as the elementary school.
Yutan Elementary School is a 5-star rated school, ranked 28th out of 274 Nebraska elementary schools in 2024-2025. It has consistently high test scores, with over 80% of 4th and 6th graders proficient or better in ELA and similarly high math proficiency rates. The school also has a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 19.3% and a free/reduced lunch rate of 18.12%. In contrast, Yutan High School is ranked 72nd out of 146 Nebraska high schools, with a 3-star rating. While its test scores are above the state average, they are not as consistently high as the elementary school. The high school also has a 19.3% chronic absenteeism rate and a higher free/reduced lunch rate of 22.54%.
The data suggests that the Yutan Public Schools district is generally strong, with a ranking of 28th out of 115 districts in Nebraska and a 4-star rating. However, the performance gap between the elementary and high school indicates that there may be room for improvement, especially at the high school level. The district should further investigate the factors contributing to the high school's lower performance and implement targeted interventions to ensure all students in Yutan receive a high-quality education.
