While the elementary school has maintained a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, the high school has seen its statewide ranking fluctuate, currently sitting at 122 out of 168 Nebraska high schools with a 1-star rating.

Sutherland Elementary School outperforms the state average in several NSCAS test areas, with 63% of 5th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 68% in Mathematics. In contrast, Sutherland High School's 11th-grade students scored below the state average in ACT/English Language Arts but above the state average in ACT/Science.

Financially, both schools have relatively high spending per student, with Sutherland High School spending $22,192 and Sutherland Elementary School spending $21,510 per student in 2022-2023. The high school also has a lower student-teacher ratio of 9.5, compared to the elementary school's 12.9. These factors suggest a focus on resource allocation, but it's unclear if this spending is translating into improved academic outcomes for all students.
