Summary

Cedar Bluffs Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 252 students in grades PK-5 in the small town of Cedar Bluffs, Nebraska. The school has shown mixed performance on state assessments, with strong results in the lower grades but lower proficiency rates in 4th and 5th grade. While the school performs better than some nearby Fremont Public Schools, it lags behind the high-performing North Bend Central Elementary.

Cedar Bluffs Elementary has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 4.9% in 2020-2021 to 19.3% in 2024-2025, significantly higher than the state average. However, the school has performed well for its relatively high percentage of low-income students, ranking in the top 25% of Nebraska elementary schools for this subgroup in recent years. The school's per-student spending has also increased steadily, suggesting the Cedar Bluffs Public Schools district is investing resources into the school.

Despite these strengths, Cedar Bluffs Elementary's statewide ranking has declined over the past 10 years, from 208th in 2017-2018 to 158th in 2024-2025. This indicates the school may be struggling to keep pace with improvements at other Nebraska elementary schools. Continued investment and targeted efforts to address performance gaps, particularly for male students, could help Cedar Bluffs Elementary improve its outcomes and better serve its diverse student population.
