Public Grades PK, KG-6

Summary

Bassett Grade School is an elementary school in Bassett, Nebraska, serving 141 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Rock County Public Schools district, which is ranked 126 out of 212 districts in the state.

Bassett Grade School stands out for its consistently strong academic performance, with students scoring well above the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across grades 3, 4, and 6. For example, the school's 6th-grade Math proficiency rate was 82% in 2022-2023, compared to the state average of 57%. Additionally, the school has a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (34.04%) than the state average, indicating a relatively higher socioeconomic status of the student population. Bassett Grade School also spends $21,250 per student, which is higher than the state average and the spending of nearby schools like Spring View Elementary ($19,014) and Ainsworth Elementary ($23,024).

One notable aspect of Bassett Grade School is its racial homogeneity, with a significantly higher percentage of white students (96.45%) compared to the state average. This could be an area for the school to explore in terms of promoting inclusivity and diversity. However, the school's low student-teacher ratio of 10.6 and efficient resource allocation suggest it is well-positioned to continue supporting the educational needs of the Bassett community. While Bassett Grade School outperforms nearby schools in several metrics, it is important to consider the unique contexts and challenges faced by each school, and continued collaboration among these schools could benefit all students in the region.
