Osmond Community Schools

The Osmond Community Schools district in Nebraska consists of two schools: Osmond Elementary School and Osmond High School. While both schools are performing well, the high school stands out as a particularly strong performer, consistently ranking among the top 15-18 high schools in the state over the past three years and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Osmond High School boasts impressive academic performance, with 81.25% of 11th graders proficient or better in ACT English Language Arts, 68.75% in ACT Math, and 68.75% in ACT Science. These scores significantly outpace the state averages. The school also has an exceptional 88.1% four-year graduation rate, well above the state average. In contrast, while Osmond Elementary School is still performing well, ranking between 94-123 out of 459-488 Nebraska elementary schools over the past three years and earning a 4-star rating, its academic performance is not as exceptional as the high school.

Both schools have a 21.1% chronic absenteeism rate, which is higher than the state would likely prefer. Additionally, there is a significant difference in the percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients between the elementary school (11.24%) and the high school (27.16%), which may indicate some socioeconomic disparities within the district. However, the district's high spending per student, at $24,860 for the elementary school and $26,641 for the high school, could be a contributing factor to their academic success.
