Summary:

The Hay Springs Public Schools district in Nebraska consists of four schools: two elementary schools (Hay Springs Elementary School and Hay Springs Early Childhood), one middle school (Hay Springs Middle School), and one high school (Hay Springs High School). The district's standout performer is Hay Springs Middle School, which ranks 45th out of 249 Nebraska middle schools and significantly outperforms the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics.

Hay Springs Elementary School is another strong performer, ranking 31st out of 452 Nebraska elementary schools in 2018-2019 and maintaining a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's Mathematics scores for 3rd and 4th grades are also better than the state average. However, the school's statewide ranking has declined in recent years, indicating a need to investigate the factors contributing to this change.

The district's schools serve a predominantly white student population, with varying levels of socioeconomic diversity as indicated by the free and reduced lunch rates. Hay Springs Early Childhood and Hay Springs Elementary School have the highest rates of students from low-income families, which may require the district to allocate additional resources and support. Additionally, the significant difference in spending per student between the high school and the elementary school is noteworthy and warrants further investigation to ensure equitable resource allocation across the district.
