High Schools in Nevada Community School District


Summary:

The Nevada Community School District in Iowa is home to a single high school, Nevada High School, which serves grades 9-12. The school has a student enrollment of 503 and generally performs on par or slightly above the state average in academic proficiency, particularly in English Language Arts.

Nevada High School boasts a 4-year graduation rate of 88.3%, which is respectable but could still be improved. The school faces some challenges, including a higher chronic absenteeism rate of 21.6% compared to the state average. Economically, over 34% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students that may require additional support. However, the school's relatively high spending per student of $17,734 suggests it has access to adequate resources to address these needs.

Overall, Nevada High School appears to be a reasonably well-performing school, with some areas of strength and some areas that could benefit from further attention and improvement. While the school generally performs on par or slightly above the district average, there may be room for improvement in certain subject areas compared to the state average. The data provides a solid foundation for understanding the school's current state and identifying potential areas for targeted interventions or resource allocation.
