Summary

Gordon-Rushville High School is a public high school serving 127 students in grades 9-12 in Gordon, Nebraska. The school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the past several years, ranging from 31st out of 146 Nebraska high schools to 173rd out of 215 schools.

One of the school's strengths is its strong academic performance, with a higher percentage of students proficient or better in ACT English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science compared to the state average. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 71.43% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in ACT English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 42.74%. The school has also maintained high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 87.9% to 96.3% over the past few years, which are notably higher than the state average.

However, the school has experienced relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 16.0% to 21.1% in recent years, which may be an area of concern. The school serves a predominantly white student population and a significant population of low socioeconomic status (SES) students, which could present unique challenges and needs. Despite these factors, Gordon-Rushville High School appears to be a strong-performing school, with a focus on academic achievement and high graduation rates.
