Wakefield Public Schools

The Wakefield Public Schools district in Nebraska consists of two schools: Wakefield Elementary School and Wakefield High School. While Wakefield Elementary has been steadily improving its performance, Wakefield High School stands out as a relatively strong performer, ranking 90th out of 215 Nebraska high schools and exceeding state averages in English Language Arts, Math, and Science proficiency.

Both schools have a majority Hispanic student population, with over 60% of students identifying as Hispanic. However, the district may benefit from exploring ways to promote greater racial diversity and inclusion. Interestingly, Wakefield High School spends more per student ($19,801) compared to Wakefield Elementary ($16,683), which could indicate a focus on investing more resources in secondary education.

Overall, the Wakefield Public Schools district appears to be making progress, with Wakefield Elementary School's improving performance and Wakefield High School's strong academic outcomes. However, the district may want to consider addressing the lack of racial diversity and ensuring equitable resource allocation across grade levels to support the success of all students.
