Public Grades PK, KG-6

Summary

Humphrey Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 159 students in grades PK-6 in Humphrey, Nebraska, which is part of the Humphrey Public Schools district. The school generally performs better than the state average on standardized tests, with 68% of 6th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts and 64% of 3rd graders and 65% of 5th graders proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to state averages of 58.3%, 60.65%, and 61.1%, respectively.

Interestingly, Newman Grove Elementary School and Shell Creek Elementary School (in the Lakeview Community Schools district) also demonstrate strong academic performance, often exceeding the results of Humphrey Elementary School. Additionally, Humphrey Elementary School spends more per student and has a lower student-teacher ratio than many of the nearby schools, which may contribute to its academic success.
