Harvard Public Schools

The Harvard Public Schools district in Nebraska consists of three schools: Harvard Elementary School, Harvard High School, and Harvard Middle School. While the district has relatively small enrollments, the performance of these schools varies significantly.

Harvard High School stands out as the strongest performer, ranking 45th out of 202 Nebraska high schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. This is a substantial improvement from its previous rankings, indicating the school's progress. In contrast, Harvard Elementary School and Harvard Middle School generally perform below the state averages in proficiency rates for the NSCAS assessments, suggesting potential areas for improvement.

The data also reveals significant disparities within the district, such as the wide range in spending per student, from $45,753 at the high school to $10,923 at the middle school. These differences may contribute to the varying performance levels and raise concerns about equity. To address these challenges, the district may benefit from targeted interventions and support to help the lower-performing schools improve and ensure a more consistent level of quality across the Harvard Public Schools system.
