About Ansley Elementary School

ANSLEY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL is a small rural public school located in the town of AnslEy, Nebraska. Serving students from pre-kindergarten through sixth grade, ANSLEY ELEMENTARY has an enrollment of 115 students and maintains a student-teacher ratio of 11.5:1 with ten full-time equivalent teachers. The school's setting is quite remote, nestled in the heart of Custer County on Cameron Street.

While ANSLEY ELEMENTARY'S MySchoolScout rating of 3.4 out of 10 and its state ranking at #864 out of 974 schools indicate room for academic growth, the dedicated staff works hard to support students' development.

ANSLEY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL is deeply rooted in its small rural community, providing a nurturing environment for young learners.

What Parents Should Know

With an enrollment of 115 students, Ansley Elementary School is a smaller school where families often find a close-knit community atmosphere. Smaller settings can mean more individual attention from teachers and staff, though they may offer fewer extracurricular options than larger schools.

Located in a rural area, Ansley Elementary School may involve longer commutes for some families. Rural schools often serve as community anchors and may have smaller class sizes, but parents should consider transportation logistics, after-school program availability, and access to specialized services.
