Summary

Conestoga Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Murray, Nebraska, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 375 students. The school is part of the Conestoga Public Schools district, which is ranked 84 out of 115 districts in Nebraska and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Conestoga Elementary School has shown mixed academic performance, with some grade levels and subject areas performing better than the state average, while others lag behind. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) ranged from 47.17% for 3rd grade to 75% for 6th grade, while in Mathematics, the proficiency rates ranged from 58.49% for 3rd grade to 75% for 6th grade. The school's performance is generally better than the Bellevue Public Schools district but lower than the Louisville Public Schools district. The school has also shown some variation in the performance of different student subgroups, with male students performing better than female students in the 2023-2024 school year.

One area of concern for Conestoga Elementary School is the concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 8.7% in the 2024-2025 school year to 21.1% in the 2023-2024 school year, which is significantly higher than the state's average. However, the school's higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratio compared to some nearby schools may be contributing factors to its relatively better academic performance. The school should continue to explore ways to improve student outcomes, especially in areas where it lags behind the state average.
