Gibbon Public Schools

The Gibbon Public Schools district in Nebraska consists of two schools: Gibbon Elementary School and Gibbon High School. Both schools have relatively average performance metrics compared to state-level data, with no clear standout schools in the district.

Gibbon Elementary School is ranked 250th out of 459 Nebraska elementary schools and has a 2-star rating, while Gibbon High School is ranked 188th out of 215 Nebraska high schools and has a 1-star rating. The student populations at both schools have a significant Hispanic representation, with Gibbon Elementary being 40.88% Hispanic and Gibbon High being 47.88% Hispanic. Academically, both schools consistently underperform compared to state averages on proficiency measures, indicating a systemic issue within the district.

The district's high free and reduced lunch rates, at 46.23% for the elementary school and 52.54% for the high school, suggest that the district serves a population with significant economic challenges, which may impact educational outcomes. Additionally, the higher spending per student at Gibbon High School ($18,488) compared to Gibbon Elementary School ($14,349) may indicate a focus on secondary education, but the overall academic performance at both levels remains below state averages. The lack of improvement in the schools' ranking and rating history further highlights the need for a comprehensive, data-driven approach to address the educational challenges faced by the Gibbon Public Schools district.
