Burwell Public Schools

The Burwell Public Schools district in Nebraska consists of two schools: Burwell Elementary School and Burwell Junior-Senior High School. Both schools have demonstrated strong academic performance, with the high school ranking 34th out of 168 Nebraska high schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Burwell Junior-Senior High School stands out for its impressive test scores, with 73.68% of 11th graders proficient or better in ACT English Language Arts and Mathematics, significantly outperforming the state averages. The school also boasts an impressive 88.1% four-year graduation rate. In contrast, Burwell Elementary School has consistently strong performance on NSCAS tests, with 6th-grade students scoring well above the state averages in both English Language Arts (78.26%) and Mathematics (78%).

While both schools have maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, the district as a whole ranks 39th out of 182 districts in Nebraska. However, the relatively high free/reduced lunch rates at both schools (35.62% at the elementary school and 42.86% at the high school) suggest the district may have a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, which could warrant further exploration of how the district is addressing their needs and ensuring equitable access to educational resources.
