Summary:
The city of Cairo, Nebraska is home to a single high school, Centura Secondary School, which serves students in grades 9-12. This school has seen its statewide ranking fluctuate over the past few years, from 137th out of 215 Nebraska high schools in 2022-2023 to 53rd out of 146 in 2024-2025, with its rating varying from 2 to 3 stars out of 5.
Centura Secondary School has performed well academically, with its students scoring above the state average in several subject areas, including ACT/English Language Arts, ACT/Mathematics, and ACT/Science. However, the school's 7th and 8th grade NSCAS English Language Arts scores were slightly below the state average. The school's four-year graduation rate was 87.9% in the 2024-2025 school year, and its chronic absenteeism rate was 19.3% in the same year, which is an area for potential improvement.
Centura Secondary School appears to be a well-resourced institution, with a low student-teacher ratio of 8.2 to 1 and spending $24,034 per student in the 2023-2024 school year. However, the school serves a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with 34.17% of its students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year, which may require additional support and resources.
