Broken Bow Public Schools

Summary:

The Broken Bow Public Schools district in Nebraska consists of three schools: North Park Elementary School, Broken Bow High School, and Broken Bow Middle School. North Park Elementary School stands out as the top performer in the district, consistently ranking among the top 45 elementary schools in Nebraska and receiving high ratings from SchoolDigger.

North Park Elementary School's test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are significantly higher than the district and state averages, with many grades achieving over 70% proficiency. In contrast, Broken Bow High School and Broken Bow Middle School have more average performance, with rankings in the middle to lower range of their respective school types in Nebraska. Their test scores are generally closer to or slightly above the state averages.

While North Park Elementary School maintains a stable and effective educational program, the district may want to examine the factors contributing to the elementary school's success and explore ways to replicate that at the secondary level. Additionally, the district could address the higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rates across all three schools, which could be an area of focus to improve overall student outcomes.
