Humphrey Public Schools

The Humphrey Public Schools district in Nebraska consists of three schools: Humphrey Elementary School, Humphrey Junior-Senior High School, and Lindsay Attendance Center. The district serves students from elementary through high school, with a focus on academic achievement and student success.

Humphrey Junior-Senior High School stands out as the district's top performer, ranking 10th out of 168 Nebraska high schools and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. This is a significant improvement from its previous rankings, indicating a strong focus on academic excellence. The high school's impressive test scores, with over 90% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in ACT English Language Arts, 67% in ACT Mathematics, and 81% in ACT Science, are well above the state averages.

While Humphrey Elementary School and Humphrey Junior-Senior High School both have relatively low free and reduced lunch rates, suggesting a more affluent student population, the district faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates at both schools. Additionally, the small size of Lindsay Attendance Center, with only 12 students, raises questions about the viability and cost-effectiveness of maintaining such a small school. Overall, the Humphrey Public Schools district has made significant strides in academic performance, but continued data-driven decision-making will be crucial to address its areas of concern.
