Summary:
The Conestoga Public Schools district in Nebraska operates two schools: Conestoga Elementary School and Conestoga Junior/Senior High School. While the district as a whole is ranked 84 out of 115 districts in Nebraska and has a 1-star rating, the individual schools within the district show some standout performance.
Conestoga Elementary School consistently outperforms the state average on NSCAS English Language Arts and Mathematics assessments, with 75% of 6th-grade students achieving proficiency or better in both subjects. The school also has a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 19.3%. In contrast, Conestoga Junior/Senior High School outperforms the state average on ACT assessments for 11th-grade students in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, and has an impressive 8th-grade NSCAS test score performance, with over 69% proficiency in Math and Science.
Both schools have a student-teacher ratio of 11.8, which is relatively low, and they serve a student population with 26-28% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. While the schools show some areas of strength, the district as a whole faces challenges, with a higher-than-ideal chronic absenteeism rate across both schools. Addressing attendance issues and continuing to focus on academic excellence could help the Conestoga Public Schools district better serve its students and community.
