Summary:
Fillmore Central Public Schools operates a single high school, Fillmore Central High School, serving students in grades 9-12 in the rural community of Fillmore, Nebraska. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 47th out of 215 Nebraska high schools in 2022-2023 to 82nd out of 146 in 2024-2025, though it has maintained a 4 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger in most years.
Fillmore Central High School has demonstrated some academic strengths, particularly in ACT proficiency, where the school has outperformed the statewide averages in subjects like English Language Arts and Science. However, the school has also faced challenges, such as a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.3% in 2024-2025. Additionally, the school's spending per student of $23,674 in 2023-2024 is significantly higher than the state average, though it is unclear whether this increased funding has translated into improved student outcomes.
Overall, Fillmore Central High School appears to be a mixed performer, with both areas of strength and areas in need of improvement. While the school has shown strong ACT proficiency in certain subjects, its fluctuating statewide ranking and high chronic absenteeism rate suggest that the Fillmore Central Public Schools district may need to explore strategies to enhance the school's overall effectiveness and consistency in order to better serve the needs of its students.
