The desire to achieve educationally is reflected at all grade levels as Nemaha Valley students annually score above the state and national averages on standardized tests.

Seneca Grade School/Nemaha Valley Junior High

After the March 2007 fire some SGS/NVJH students had to change their educational site. Currently grades K-5 reside at the original grade school building at 709 Nemaha Street. Grades 6-8 are located in mobiles next to the high school. The November 2007 bond that passed will help with the building of a new school which will once again house K-8 students. A tentative completion date for the site is fall 2009.
