Summary:
The city of Blue Hill, Nebraska is home to two schools - Blue Hill Elementary School and Blue Hill High School, both part of the Blue Hill Community Schools district. The data shows that Blue Hill High School is a standout performer, consistently ranking among the top high schools in Nebraska and outperforming the state on various academic measures, including ACT English, Math, and Science scores. Blue Hill Elementary School also demonstrates strong academic performance, with students scoring above the state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics.
Both schools have higher-than-average spending per student and lower student-teacher ratios, which may contribute to their academic success. However, the chronic absenteeism rates at both schools are a concern, as they are significantly higher than the state's target. This is an area that the district may want to focus on to improve overall student outcomes. The difference in free/reduced lunch rates between the elementary and high school suggests that the community may have a higher concentration of economically disadvantaged families with school-aged children.
Overall, the data indicates that the Blue Hill school district is performing well, with both the elementary and high school demonstrating strong academic achievement. However, the district may want to address the high chronic absenteeism rates to further improve student outcomes.
