Summary

Blair Arbor Park Elementary is a public elementary school serving 521 students in grades PK-5 in Blair, Nebraska, which is part of the Blair Community Schools district.

The school has seen fluctuations in its academic performance, ranking between 77th and 234th out of Nebraska's elementary schools over the past 10 years. In the 2024-2025 school year, Blair Arbor Park Elementary ranked 185th out of 274 Nebraska elementary schools and received a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Compared to the Blair Community Schools district and the state of Nebraska, the school has generally performed on par or slightly below in terms of the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with strengths in its Hispanic student population but struggles with its special education and low socioeconomic status student populations.
