Summary:
The Oakland Craig Public Schools district in Nebraska operates two schools: Oakland Craig Elementary (grades PK-6) and Oakland Craig Junior-Senior High (grades 7-12). The data reveals that Oakland Craig Elementary is a standout school, consistently ranking in the top 30% of Nebraska elementary schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past two years. In contrast, the junior-senior high school has not performed as strongly, ranking in the middle of Nebraska high schools and only earning 2-star or 3-star ratings.
Academically, Oakland Craig Elementary has demonstrated strong performance, with 64-65% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 67-72% proficient or better in Mathematics across grades 3-6. The junior-senior high school has also shown solid academic achievement, with 58-73% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 48-83% proficient or better in Mathematics and Science across grades 7-11. Both schools generally outperform the state average on these standardized test metrics.
While the schools have similar per-student spending and student-teacher ratios, the elementary school serves a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (42.04%) compared to the junior-senior high (34.08%). This suggests the elementary school may serve a more economically disadvantaged student population. Additionally, both schools have relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, around 19.3%, which is an area for potential improvement across the district.
