Elgin Public Schools

The Elgin Public Schools district in Nebraska consists of two schools: Elgin Elementary School and Elgin High School. The data reveals that Elgin High School is a standout performer, consistently ranking among the top high schools in the state with exceptional test scores and a strong graduation rate.

Elgin High School's statewide ranking of 7 out of 168 schools, along with its significantly higher test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science compared to state averages, demonstrate the school's academic excellence. The school's four-year graduation rate of 88.1% is also a positive indicator of student success. In contrast, both Elgin Elementary School and Elgin High School have higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rates of 21.1%, which could be an area for the district to address.

The data also reveals differences in resource allocation, with Elgin High School spending $25,282 per student compared to $20,571 per student at Elgin Elementary School. This may suggest a focus on supporting the high school's academic programs and resources. Additionally, the relatively high free and reduced lunch rates at both schools, 52.83% for Elgin Elementary and 42.86% for Elgin High, indicate that the district serves a population with lower socioeconomic status, which could be an important consideration when analyzing the schools' performance and resource needs.
