In the high plains of western Nebraska, Kimball is a small but resilient town where opportunity has historically been harder to come by. With just 14% of residents holding a bachelor’s degree and a median household income well below the national average, Kimball reflects the reality many rural students face. That’s exactly why Compass is here—to show what’s possible when belief, mentorship, and guidance meet students where they are. In Kimball, we’re not just preparing students for success—we’re helping transform the community’s long-term trajectory.
