Fullerton Public Schools

The Fullerton Public Schools district in Nebraska consists of two schools: Fullerton Elementary School and Fullerton High School. The data reveals that Fullerton Elementary School consistently outperforms the state average on assessments, with particularly strong results in Mathematics. Meanwhile, Fullerton High School has made a remarkable turnaround, moving from the bottom 10% of Nebraska high schools to the top 20% in just one year, driven by exceptional ACT performance.

Fullerton Elementary School stands out for its consistently high proficiency rates in English Language Arts (70%+) and Mathematics (82%) for 6th grade, as well as its impressive statewide ranking in the top 25% of Nebraska elementary schools. In contrast, Fullerton High School's ACT results are significantly higher than the state average, with 78.95% proficiency in English Language Arts, 52.63% in Mathematics, and 73.68% in Science for 11th grade. The high school's 4-year graduation rate is also impressive at 88.1%.

While both schools have a chronic absenteeism rate of 21.1%, which is higher than the state's average, the data also reveals potential equity concerns. Fullerton High School has a higher free/reduced lunch rate of 38.52% compared to Fullerton Elementary School's 29.88%, suggesting potential challenges at the secondary level. Additionally, the higher spending per student at the high school ($22,500) compared to the elementary school ($19,775) raises questions about resource allocation and efficiency within the district.
