Summary:
The Fairbury Public Schools district in Nebraska consists of three schools: two elementary schools (Jefferson Intermediate School and Central Elementary School) and one junior-senior high school (Fairbury Junior-Senior High School). The district serves a predominantly white, high-poverty student population, with varying academic performance across the schools.
Fairbury Junior-Senior High School has the highest enrollment and the lowest test scores, with only about a quarter of 11th graders proficient in English, Math, and Science. However, the school's 7th and 8th grade scores are closer to or above the state averages. In contrast, Jefferson Intermediate School has mixed test scores, with some grades performing above the state average and others below. Central Elementary School has the highest spending per student but lacks statewide ranking data for comparison.
Overall, the Fairbury Public Schools district faces challenges in terms of academic performance, resource allocation, and student demographics. While the schools have relatively low student-teacher ratios, the district's high poverty rates and lack of diversity may present additional obstacles to improving educational outcomes for all students.
