Summary:
The Gordon-Rushville Public Schools district in Nebraska is home to two elementary schools that serve students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The data analysis reveals a mix of strengths and areas for improvement across these schools.
Gordon-Rushville Elementary-Gordon has shown consistent improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from 302nd out of 457 schools in 2021-2022 to 199th out of 428 schools in 2023-2024. The school's test scores are generally higher than the district and state averages, particularly in 3rd grade English Language Arts and 5th grade Science. In contrast, Gordon-Rushville Ele-Rushville has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, with strong 4th grade English Language Arts scores but lagging behind in 3rd grade Mathematics.
Both schools have relatively high spending per student and low student-teacher ratios, suggesting the district is investing significant resources into its elementary education. However, the schools share a concerning issue of high chronic absenteeism rates, significantly above the state average, which may be an area that requires targeted interventions to improve overall student outcomes.
