Summary:
The Hastings Public Schools district in Nebraska consists of 7 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district as a whole is ranked 172 out of 182 districts in Nebraska and is rated 0 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating significant challenges in student performance.
However, the data reveals that some individual schools within the district are outperforming the overall district and state averages. Hawthorne Elementary School stands out as the highest-ranked elementary school in the district, with strong proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics. Similarly, Raymond A Watson Elementary School has smaller class sizes and higher proficiency rates in key subjects. At the high school level, Hastings Senior High School has a higher graduation rate and better performance on ACT assessments compared to the district and state.
The data also highlights some concerning trends across the Hastings Public Schools district, such as high chronic absenteeism rates, significant achievement gaps, and a high percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. Addressing these challenges, while also learning from the success of the district's top-performing schools, may be key to improving the overall educational outcomes for students in Hastings.
