Silver Lake High School

Public Grades 7-12

Summary

Silver Lake High School is a public high school located in Roseland, Nebraska, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 103 students. The school is part of the Silver Lake Public Schools district, which is ranked 101 out of 182 districts in Nebraska and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Silver Lake High School has shown a mix of strengths and challenges in its academic performance. While the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, it has outperformed the state average in several areas, particularly in ACT/English Language Arts and NSCAS/Science for 8th grade. The school's four-year graduation rate has also been consistently high, ranging from 87% to 95%, which is above the state average. However, the school has experienced relatively high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 8.4% to 21.5% in recent years, which could be an area of concern.

Compared to nearby high schools, such as Hastings Senior High School and Kenesaw Secondary School, Silver Lake High School stands out in terms of its lower student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending. This suggests that the school may have access to more resources and potentially smaller class sizes, which could contribute to its academic performance.
