Elm Creek Public Schools

The Elm Creek Public Schools district in Nebraska operates two schools - Elm Creek Elementary School and Elm Creek High School. Both schools demonstrate strong academic performance, with proficiency rates exceeding state averages in multiple subject areas and grade levels.

Elm Creek Elementary School stands out for its consistently high performance on state assessments, with over 70% proficiency in English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school also maintains a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 19.3%, indicating strong student engagement. In contrast, Elm Creek High School maintains a solid 87.9% four-year graduation rate and outperforms the state average on the ACT Science assessment.

While both schools demonstrate academic excellence, there are some differences in their student populations and resource allocation. Elm Creek Elementary School serves a higher percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, with 34.65% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, compared to 26.45% at the high school. Additionally, the high school has a higher per-student spending of $20,237, compared to $17,157 at the elementary school, which may indicate a greater investment in resources and programs for older students.
