Elm Creek Public Schools

The Elm Creek Public Schools district in Nebraska consists of two schools - Elm Creek Elementary School and Elm Creek High School. While the elementary school stands out for its consistently high performance in English Language Arts and Science, the high school excels in Mathematics and Science but lags behind in ELA.

Elm Creek Elementary School boasts impressive test scores, with 79% proficiency in 3rd grade ELA and 82% proficiency in 5th grade Science, significantly exceeding state averages. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.4 may contribute to its academic success. In contrast, Elm Creek High School outperforms the state in Mathematics and Science for grades 7 and 8, but underperforms in ELA across multiple grade levels, suggesting a potential area for improvement.

Both schools have a predominantly white student population, with limited racial diversity. Additionally, the high free and reduced lunch rates, exceeding 30% at both schools, indicate the need to consider the impact of socioeconomic factors on student performance. The district may benefit from addressing the ELA performance at the high school level and exploring ways to increase racial diversity and support students from lower socioeconomic backgrounds.
