Summary:
Bertrand Public Schools is a small school district in Nebraska that serves the community of Bertrand. The district has only one elementary school, Bertrand Elementary School, which provides education for students from preschool through 6th grade.
Bertrand Elementary School has seen fluctuating performance in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 137th out of 428 Nebraska elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 280th out of 459 in 2022-2023. The school's test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics for grades 3-6 are generally on par with or slightly below the state averages. The school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (36.89% in 2022-2023), indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families. However, the school's per-student spending for the 2022-2023 school year was $21,451, which is higher than the state average.
One area of concern for Bertrand Elementary School is its chronic absenteeism rate, which stood at 21.1% for the 2023-2024 school year. This is relatively high and may be an issue that requires further investigation. Overall, while Bertrand Elementary School appears to have access to more resources than the average Nebraska elementary school, its performance has been inconsistent, and the school may face challenges related to the socioeconomic factors of its student population.
