Summary:
The Nevada Community School District in Iowa is home to a single high school, Nevada High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. This relatively small to medium-sized high school of 491 students has a diverse student population, with a majority of White students (82.28%) and significant representation of Hispanic (8.96%) and Asian (2.04%) students.
Nevada High School stands out for its strong academic performance, with test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics generally above the state averages for Iowa. The school's student-teacher ratio of 15.3 is slightly lower than the state average, indicating smaller class sizes. However, the school's performance in Science is slightly below the state average, which could be an area for improvement. While the school's statewide ranking has declined in recent years, it still ranks in the top 50% of Iowa high schools, according to the SchoolDigger ratings.
One notable aspect of Nevada High School is the relatively high percentage of students (33.2%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, a measure of economic disadvantage. This suggests the school serves a population with significant financial challenges, which may have implications for the school's resource allocation and the support services it provides to students. Despite this, the school district's spending per student ($17,734) is higher than the state average, indicating a commitment to investing in educational resources and programs.
