Superior Public Schools

The Superior Public Schools district in Nebraska consists of 3 schools: 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school. While the schools show some bright spots, there are also areas of concern that warrant attention.

Superior Elementary School performed above the state average in 4th and 5th grade English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics, but saw a decline in ELA proficiency from the previous year. In contrast, Superior Senior High School outperformed the state average in ACT Science for 11th grade and achieved an 88.1% four-year graduation rate. However, Superior Middle School struggled in 6th and 7th grade ELA, with proficiency rates well below the state average, despite strong performance in 8th grade Science.

A concerning trend across all three schools is the consistently high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.1%, which is likely impacting overall student performance. Additionally, the schools have relatively high free and reduced lunch rates, ranging from 47.96% to 52.38%, indicating a need to address socioeconomic factors that may be influencing student outcomes. While the district's spending per student is similar across the schools, the student-teacher ratios are relatively low, suggesting that resources may not be optimized to support student learning effectively.
