Summary:
The Hitchcock County School System consists of two schools - Hitchcock County Elementary and Hitchcock County Junior/Senior High School. These schools serve students in the Hitchcock County area and have shown a mix of strong performance and significant improvement in recent years.
Hitchcock County Elementary has consistently ranked in the top 25% of Nebraska elementary schools over the past 3 years, with high test scores exceeding the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school also boasts a low chronic absenteeism rate and high spending per student, indicating a commitment to providing quality resources. In contrast, Hitchcock County Junior/Senior High School has seen a dramatic improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from 87th out of 209 high schools in 2020-2021 to 41st out of 202 in 2021-2022.
