Hastings Public Schools

The Hastings Public Schools district in Nebraska consists of 8 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving a diverse student population. The data reveals significant variations in school performance, with some standout schools like Lincoln Elementary School excelling in certain areas, while others like Morton Early Learning Center face challenges.

The district's schools serve a wide range of socioeconomic backgrounds, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 22.66% at Morton Early Learning Center to 74.58% at Lincoln Elementary. This diversity is also reflected in the varying racial compositions of the schools, with white students making up the majority, followed by Hispanic students. However, the disparities in test scores, spending per student, and student-teacher ratios across the schools may indicate potential equity issues that the Hastings Public Schools district should investigate further.

Overall, the data suggests that the Hastings Public Schools district faces significant challenges in improving the overall quality of education, as evidenced by the district's low statewide ranking and 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The district's leadership and community will need to work together to address these issues and ensure that all students receive a high-quality education, regardless of their school or background.
