Summary:

The Centura Public Schools district in Nebraska consists of two schools: Centura Elementary School and Centura Secondary School. Both schools demonstrate strong academic performance, with students consistently outperforming the state averages on standardized tests.

Centura Elementary School stands out for its consistently high test scores, with 3rd-5th grade students performing significantly above the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school also has a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 19.3% and spends $17,862 per student. In contrast, Centura Secondary School boasts a strong 4-year graduation rate of 87.9%, well above the state average, and impressive test scores, with 11th-grade students outperforming the state average in ACT English, Math, and Science.

The district's focus on academic rigor and effective teaching practices is evident in the schools' performance. Additionally, the low student-teacher ratios, especially at the secondary level, suggest a more personalized learning environment that can benefit students' academic and social-emotional development. While the district faces some socioeconomic challenges, with relatively high free/reduced lunch rates at both schools, the overall data indicates that Centura Public Schools is performing well and providing a strong educational foundation for its students.
