Blue Hill Community Schools

The Blue Hill Community Schools district in Nebraska consists of two schools: Blue Hill Elementary School and Blue Hill High School. While the elementary school's academic performance is mixed, the high school stands out as a top-performing institution, ranking 19th out of 215 Nebraska high schools in the 2022-2023 school year.

Blue Hill High School's impressive 5-star rating from SchoolDigger reflects its strong academic achievements, with proficiency rates in ACT/English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science significantly higher than the state averages. The school's NSCAS/English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency rates for 7th and 8th grades are also above the state benchmarks. This academic excellence is a significant improvement from the high school's previous rankings, suggesting that the district is providing a high-quality education and preparing its students for success.

In contrast, Blue Hill Elementary School has proficiency rates in NSCAS/English Language Arts and Mathematics that are generally lower than the state averages, with some exceptions in 4th and 6th grade. The district's student population is predominantly white, with relatively low representation of other racial and ethnic groups, which may indicate a need to explore ways to promote diversity and inclusion. Additionally, the higher per-student spending at the high school compared to the elementary school suggests a potential correlation between funding and student outcomes that could be further investigated.
