Elementary Schools in West Holt Public Schools

Summary:

The West Holt Public Schools district in Nebraska is home to two elementary schools: Atkinson Elementary School and West Holt Little Paws Preschool. These schools serve students from the surrounding community, providing a range of educational opportunities.

Among the two schools, Atkinson Elementary School stands out as a high-performing institution. The school ranked 21st out of 274 Nebraska elementary schools in the 2024-2025 school year, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. Atkinson Elementary consistently outperforms state averages on standardized tests, with 83.33% of 3rd graders and 82.14% of 5th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, and 78.57% of 5th graders proficient or better in mathematics.

While both schools serve a relatively high proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with free/reduced lunch rates around 50%, the district appears to be investing resources into Atkinson Elementary School, which spends $21,076 per student, above the state average. The district's focus on early childhood education is also evident with the presence of West Holt Little Paws Preschool, though further analysis would be needed to understand the outcomes and impact of this program.
